Regularities of Formation of Binary Intermetallic Compound between Nontransition Elements

Atomic parameter pattern recognition method [2] is used to study the regularities of formation of binary intermetallic compound between nontransition elements. It has been found that combining the Villars's system of atomic parameters (R SP , VE and X MB ) with our pattern recognition technology, we can distribute the representative points of binary forming alloy from that of systems without binary compound in different regions in the multidimensional space spanned by the atomic parameters or their functions. A hyperpolyhedron model obtained by this method can be used to predict binary intermetallic compound formation.
