Thermodynamics of mixing and ordering in solid solutions with coupled substitutions: A computer simulation approach
Final Report Abstract
In this project we studied - an order/disorder model of Al,Si in cordierite, - a model of coupled Al,Si and O,N order/disorder of in BaYb-sialon, - a model of coupled substitution of Ca + Mg = Na + Al in diopside-jadeite pyroxene, - a model of coupled substitution of Ca + Mg - K + AI in diopside-K-jadeite pyroxene, - a model of coupled substitution of Ca + Ca = Na + Eu in powellite solid solution, - a model of mixing and ordering in pyrope-grossular garnets, - a model of mixing and ordering in Ca,Mg carbonates, - a model of coupled substitution of Mg + Si = Al + Al in pyrope-majorite garnets, - a model of coupled substitution of Ca + Ge = Fe + Fe in Ca-Fe-Ge analogues of pyrope-majorite solid solution. The main results of the project are - a flexible Monte Carlo code is developed and tested for different types of solid solutions; - new self-consistent set of empirical interatomic potentials is developed and tested against independent quantum mechanical calculations; - global strain relaxation is recognized as the main driving force of ordering in solid solutions with size mismatch; - charge mismatch is recognized as the main factor governing the properties of s.s. with coupled substitutions; - cluster expansion procedure is used to investigate variation of physical and structural properties of Mg-cordierite across the order/disorder transition; - new type of coupled cation/anion ordering is proposed for SiAlONs; - new ordered compounds are predicted in several solid solution systems.
