No miscibility gap in Pt-Rh bulk alloys — •Sascha Maisel, Tobias Kerscher, and Stefan Müller — Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Lehrstuhl für Theoretische Physik 2, Staudtstr. 7, 91058 Erlangen, Germany

The phase diagram of Pt-Rh possesses an fcc-based solid solution that is stable over the whole concentration range for higher temperatures. However, for low temperatures (< 1000 K) a miscibility gap is deduced, merely from experiments on other alloys [1]. Our theoretical study comprises an ab-initio-based cluster-expansion in the framework of the UNCLE code [2]: We use input data from density-functional theory and subsequent Monte-Carlo simulations in order to account for temperature effects. Our results show that the predicted phase-separation does not occur. The resulting phase diagram will be discussed.
