Simulation methods have been used to study the miscibility of CuxAg1-xI bas
ed on a Tersoff potential. Monte Carlo calculations show that CuxAg1-xI is
a complete solid solution. This result agrees well with experiments using N
MR and X-ray diffractions methods. Structural, elastic and thermodynamic pr
operties are also predicted at 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 using molecular dynamics
simulations. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
