Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting you to submit work to the Special Issue, “Intermetallic Compounds Concerning Crystal Chemistry, Magnetic, and Thermodynamic Properties”. In this Issue, special attention should be paid to magnetic and crystal structure analysis. Furthermore, magnetic and/or magneto-structural phase transitions should be analyzed. The external magnetic field or pressure induced phase transitions will also be included. New induced states should be discussed in relation with electronic band structure. In particular, comparisons between calculated magnetic moments, magnetic hyperfine fields, etc., as well as experimental ones, should be reported. Finally, analysis of magnetic (B,P,T, x) phase diagrams for the studied series of compounds should be proposed.

In this paper, we started from the composition-dependent interdiffusion coefficients with quantified uncertainties in binary alloys by integrating the Matano-based method, distribution functions, and uncertainty propagation approach. After carefully defining the numerically stable region for the interdiffusion coefficients, the suitable pre-set functions were screened to achieve the reasonable fit to the D-c and μ-c data according to the Akaike information criterion. With the fitted D-c and μ-c curves, the impurity diffusion coefficients with uncertainties can be directly determined. Benchmark tests in five hypothetical binary systems with different preset D-c relations were then utilized to validate the presently effective approach, followed by practical applications in five real cases, i.e., fcc Ni-Co, fcc Cu-Al, fcc Pt-Ni, hcp Mg-Zn, and bcc Ti-V alloys. The impurity diffusion coefficients with uncertainties derived by the presently effective approach were found to be in excellent agreement with the data by tracer experiments, indicating that this effective approach can serve as a standard one for acquiring the high-quality impurity diffusion coefficients in binary alloys with quantified uncertainties, especially for the noble metals and the cases without suitable radioactive tracer isotopes.
