Abstract

Phase stability properties of bcc based Fe-Cr alloys are examined in the framework of the first-principles KKR-CPA-GPM formalism and Monte Carlo simulations. For Fe-rich alloys, ordered configurations are found stable with respect to the random state of the alloy, but unstable with respect to the pure Fe and Cr metals. The results are compared with the ones obtained by using energy parameters extracted from experimental diffuse scattering data.
