β¦ Synopsis
AbstractΓWe present a new method for the calculation of the excess energies of line and planar defects in ordered alloys, which reconciles the macroscopic thermodynamic concept of a Gibbsian excess energy with the results of total energy calculations on the atomic scale. The method is applied here to the calculation of dislocation line energies in NiAl using an embedded atom model. On the basis of our results we discuss the energetics of various dislocation dissociation reactions.

First-principles density functional theory is used to examine the effect of Pt on point defects and defect clusters in NiAl. It is found that Pt promotes the formation of Ni and Al vacancies and Ni and Al antisite atoms. Defect clusters that are minima in postulated Ni diffusion mechanisms in NiAl a
