Temperature-dependent mixing behavior of Pb–Sb alloys in liquid state

We have extended a computational model used to research the thermodynamic properties of binary liquid alloys to study chemical short-range order parameters and diffusion coefficients. Numerous simulations have also been employed for surface properties such as surface concentration and surface tension. The propensities for phase separation of the Pb–Sb alloy were also observed with a temperature rise. The structural and thermodynamic properties of the alloys were measured using the same interaction parameters that are suitable for the free energy of mixing and mixing enthalpy. The interaction parameters are discovered to be temperature-dependent but concentration-independent. Our results indicate that the liquid alloy Pb–Sb has a weakly interacting composition. According to the surface property review, the element Sb having a higher surface concentration than its bulk concentration segregates over the surface of the alloy.
