This paper reports on results of a theoretical study of solid-state phase equilibria and short-range order in Cd-Mg alloys. Results of first-principles linear muffin-tin orbital method total-energy calculations for seven hcp-based superstructures have been combined with cluster-variation-method calculations of thermodynamic properties in order to compute the Cd-Mg phase diagram. Effect on the calculated phase diagram of contributions to the alloy free energy arising from atomic vibrations and structural relaxations are assessed using available experimental information for ordered and disordered alloys in the Cd-Mg system.
