Abstract
A statistical thermodynamic theory, in conjunction with a complex formation model, was used to investigate the thermodynamic and surface properties of liquid Mg–Zn alloys. Our expressions reproduce the thermodynamic functions such as free energy of mixing and enthalpy of mixing. The study of concentration fluctuations in the long-wavelength limit ( S CC(0)) provides structural information about liquid Mg–Zn alloys. S CC(0) was further used to obtain the chemical short-range order parameter ( α 1) to quantify the degree of order. The study shows that Mg atoms cause a decrease of surface tension in Mg–Zn liquid alloys.
