Energetics of Cd-based binary liquid alloys

The thermodynamic properties such as, free energy of mixing (G_M), heat of mixing (H_M), entropy of mixing (S_M) and microscopic properties such as, concentration fluctuation in long wavelength limit (S_CC(0)), Warren–Cowely short range ordering parameter (α₁), ratio of mutual and intrinsic diffusion coefficients (D_M/D_id) of two Cd-based liquid alloys have been studied by using two different models. The properties of Cd–Hg liquid alloy at 600 K have been studied on the basis of regular solution model, and the properties of Cd–Na liquid alloy at 673 K have been studied on the basis of quasi-chemical expression for weakly interacting system.
