Gd. Mukherjee et al., THERMAL-EXPANSION STUDY OF ORDERED AND DISORDERED FE3AL - AN EFFECTIVE APPROACH FOR THE DETERMINATION OF VIBRATIONAL ENTROPY, Physical review letters, 76(11), 1996, pp. 1876-1879
Thermal expansion measurements have been performed on chemically disor
dered and D0(3) ordered Fe3Al alloy using the capacitance dilatometric
method. A semiclassical model has been used to obtain the anharmonici
ty parameters and accurate values of the Debye and Einstein temperatur
es. An estimate of the vibrational entropy difference between the orde
red and disordered phases of the alloy is also obtained using this app
roach.
