The Cluster Variation Method and the Calculation of Alloy Phase Diagrams

  • Chapter
Alloy Phase Stability

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 163))

Abstract

I was asked by the Workshop organizers to write a tutorial on the Cluster Variation Method (CVM) in phase diagram calculations. Hence I shall present an elementary treatment of the essential features of the method rather than a comprehensive review.
