Abstract

A pseudopotential theory for solute-vacancy binding energies is derived for binary alloys which includes effects of solute-solute interactions. Using this approach, small binding energies are calculated for impurity-vacancy interactions in dilute Al–Cu, Al–Mg, Al–Ag, and Pb–In alloys in close agreement with the results of previous high-temperature equilibrium experiments. Solute clustering is predicted by the model for higher concentrations of solute atoms in aluminum and lead.
