• Cluster variables : independent of basis =>
transformation relations among correlation functions
defined on different bases (Sarma & Lele, 2005)
U = ∑ ei mi ui
• Sum truncated by choice of maximal cluster.
mi : multiplicity, ei : effective cluster interaction /
cluster expansion coefficient (ECI / CEC)
• Configurational enthalpy / energy of mixing
ΔH = ΔU = ∑ ei mi Δui

Gve = a + bT + cT ln T + ∑ d nT n
• Usually n = -1, 2 and 3
• Both expressions have terms with same
functional dependence on T.
First Approach
• Vibrational : Included through Debye model, by
expanding say ΔlnθD similar to enthalpy of mixing,
with different CECs.

• where ΔEb => ΔHc .
Similarly for other terms in cp.
• The scaling factor has a magnitude of ~ 10-4.
• This is similar to the factors obtained from
optimization of phase diagrams of Sc-Ti, Sc-Zr,
Ti-Zr and Hf-Ti systems using first approach.
