Abstract

The elastic moduli of quenched binary solid solutions of aluminum, bismuth, cadmium, indium, lead, lithium, silver, tin and zinc in magnesium have been measured and the results considered with reference to previous lattice parameter measurements. A simple variation with electron-atom ratio reveals no effects of Brillouin zone overlaps and earlier work invoking these is discussed in the light of the results. The decreasing modulus as the electron-atom ratio is increased may be explained in terms of a screening effect of the conduction electrons.
