Abstract
The ionic size, defined by the radius of the empty core model potential, is found to be the parameter controlling the occurrence of solid solubility in nontransition homovalent alloys. The empty core radius is obtained here by fitting to experiment the equilibrium atomic volume of the metals, calculated by an approximate Density Functional Method. The same set of empty core radii is found to control the occurrence of liquid miscibility in the same class of alloys: Connection is made between the empty core radii and the parameters of the Miedema theory of heats of formation.
