Abstract
The electron charge distribution surrounding a magnesium solute atom in aluminum is computed. The sign of the charge distribution at near-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor sites to the magnesium solute results in an electrostatic binding energy between magnesium atoms. This result is interpreted as being the origin of solute atom clustering in this alloy system. The electron scattering cross section of a magnesium solute atom is computed by the method of partial waves and is found to be about 1.1 × 10 −16 cm 2.
