摘要
Using first-principles total energies and frozen phonon calculations, we predict the thermodynamic properties (enthalpies of formation and vibrational entropies) for three phases in the Al-Mg-Si system: the stable phase (beta-Mg2Si), and two metastable precipitate phases (beta'-Mg18Si10 and beta ''-Mg5Si6). The stable fcc/beta and the metastable fcc/beta' and fcc/beta '' phase boundaries are obtained from a combination of the Gibbs energy of the compounds determined from first-principles and the free energy of the Al-rich solid solution (fcc phase) taken from the literature. Predicted phase boundaries show good agreement with available phase stability measurements. The present work demonstrates the capability of first-principles calculations in predicting Gibbs energies of stable and metastable phases. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
