Calculation of the Cr-W equilibrium phase diagram using the CV method with the Tight Binding Hamiltonian

The equilibrium phase diagram for the Cr-W system is calculated by evaluating the electronic internal energy with the Cluster-Bethe-Lattice Method using a Tight Binding Hamiltonian and by evaluating the configurational entropy with the Cluster Variation Method. It is found that the enthalpy of formation can be parameterized well by a mean-field term quadratic in concentration together with a term linear in the short-range-order parameter. Comparison with the experimental phase diagram is made and the effect of scaling the alloy hamiltonian matrix elements on the calculated phase diagram is discussed.
