Enthalpies of formation of binary transition hcp metal based alloys calculated by analytic embedded atom method model

A simple analytic modified embedded atom method (MEAM) including a modified term for hcp metals has been developed from the MEAM applied to the fee an d bcc metals. The enthalpies of formation of all binary alloy systems for e ight transition hcp metals are calculated with the MEAM. The calculations a re in agreement with the experimental data available and results calculated from the Miedema theory. One can conclude that our MEAM is also effective to apply to the hcp metals and their alloys.
