Abstract. Thermodynamic quantities such as mean nearest neighbor distance, free energy,
isothermal and adiabatic compressibilities, isothermal and adiabatic elastic modulus,
thermal expansion coefficient, heat capacities at constant volume and constant pressure,
and entropy of binary interstitial alloys with a body-centered cubic (BCC) structure
with a very small concentration of interstitial atoms are derived using the statistical
moment method. The obtained expressions of these quantities depend on temperature and
concentration of interstitial atoms. The theoretical results are applied to the interstitial alloy
FeSi. In the case where the concentration of interstitial atoms of Si is equal to zero, we have
the thermodynamic quantities of the main metal and the numerical results for the alloy
FeSi give the numerical results for Fe. The calculated results of the thermal expansion
coefficient and heat capacity at constant pressure in the interval of temperature from 100
to 700 K for Fe are in good agreement with the experimental data.
Keywords: Binary interstitial alloy, statistical moment method, coordination sphere.
1. Introduction
Thermodynamic and elastic properties of interstitial alloys are of special interest to many
theoretical and experimental researchers, for example [1-3].
In [4, 5] the equilibrium vacancy concentration in BCC substitution and interstitial alloys
is calculated taking into account thermal redistribution of the interstitial component in different
types of interstices. The conditions where this effect gives rise to a decrease or increase in vacancy
concentration are formulated.
Coatings based on interstitial alloys of transition metals have a wide range of applicability.
However, interest in synthesizing coatings from new materials with requisite service properties is
limited due to the scarceness of data on their melting temperature. In [6], the authors considered
calculating the melting temperature for interstitial alloys of transition metals based on the
characteristics of intermolecular interaction.
In [7], the authors attempt to present a survey of the order-disorder transformations of the
interstitial alloys of transition metals with hydrogen, deuterium and oxygen. Special attention

- Thermodynamic properties of binary interstitial alloys with a BCC structure...
is given to the formation of interstitial superstructures, the stepwise process of disordering and
property changes attributed to order-disorder. Four groups of interstitial alloys are considered:
(1) TO, ZrO, HfO, (2) VO, (3) VH, VD and (4) TaH, TaD. Characteristic features of the
phase transformations in each group and each system are presented and discussed in comparison
with others.
In this paper, we build the thermodynamic theory for binary interstitial alloy with a BCC
structure using the statistical moment method (SMM) [8] and applying the obtained theoretical
results to the alloy FeSi.

in crystalline lattice at 0 K and is determined from the minimum condition of the cohesive energy
u0A2 , y0C (T ) is the displacement of atom C at temperature T.
The nearest neighbor distances r1X (0, T )(X = A, A1 , A2 , C) in the interstitial alloy at
pressure P = 0 and temperature T are derived from

where r1X (0, 0)(X = A, A1 , A2 , C) is determined from the equation of state or the minimum
condition of cohesive energy. From the obtained r1X (0, 0) using Maple software, we can
determine the parameters kX (0, 0), γX (0, 0), ωX (0, 0) at 0 K. After that, we can calculate the

n−m r r
where potential parameters are given in Table 1 [9].
Our numerical results are described by figures in Figures 1-14. When the concentration
cSi → 0, we obtain thermodynamic quantities of Fe. Our calculated results in Table 2 are in rather
good agreement with the experimental data.
At the same temperature, when the concentration of interstitial atoms increases, the
thermodynamic quantities of alloy decrease. When the concentration of interstitial atoms remains
the same and temperature increases, the thermodynamic quantities of alloy increase.

3. Conclusion
From the SMM, the minimum condition of cohesive energies and the method of three
coordination spheres, we find the mean nearest neighbor distance, the free energy, the isothermal
and adiabatic compressibilities, the isothermal and adiabatic elastic modulus, the thermal
expansion coefficient, the heat capacities at constant volume and at constant pressure and the
entropy of binary interstitial alloy with BCC structure with very small concentration of interstitial
atoms. The obtained expressions of these quantities depend on the temperature and concentration
of interstitial atoms. At zero concentration of interstitial atoms Si, thermodynamic quantities of
interstitial alloy FeSi become ones of main metal Fe. At zero concentration of interstitial atoms
Si, our calculated results for the thermal expansion coefficient and the heat capacity at constant
pressure of interstitial alloy are in rather good agreement with experimental data. We have only
considered the interstitial alloy FeSi in the interval of temperature of 100 to 1000 K where the
anharmonicity of lattice vibrations has a considerable influence.
