RESUMO

The thermodynamics properties of alloys are calculated employing the method of Adiabatic Switching in the Molecular Dynamics (MD) formalism. We study the application of the Adiabatic Switching to investigate order-disorder phenomena and point defects in Ni3Al. The MD simulations were performed using the Massive Nosé-Hoover Chain (MNHC) and Andersen dynamics and we have employed a tight-binding potential of Cleri and Rosato to describe interactions in the Ni-Al system. The free energy and entropy differences in Ni3Al between its equilibrium ordered structure and a disordered solid solution were calculated. We find that the vibration entropy difference increases with temperature from 0.14 kB/atom at 300 K to 0.21 kB/atom at 1200 K. These results are in agreement with experimental values. Our calculations suggested that the major cause of the entropy difference in this system is the volume difference between the ordered and disordered phases. The vacancy formation free energy and vibration entropies, vacancy and antisite defect formation energies and their corresponding relaxation volumes were evaluated in Ni3Al in the ordered phase, these values being in good agreements with known values. In particular, our results of Ni (2.7 kB) and Al (4.0 kB) vacancies formation entropies that include anharmonic effects are more realistic those by Quasi-harmonic method and agree with recent experimental data estimated by Badura-Gergen e Schaefer, PRB 56,3032 (1997). The concentration of point defects at 1000K as a function of Ni content and the effect of temperature on them were studied for three compositions (Ni76Al74,Ni75Al25 and Ni74Al26)
