Surface properties of alloys and ionic mixtures

Abstract

We have applied thermodynamic databases, which are generally used for the evaluation of phase diagrams and chemical reactions in multicomponent systems, to the calculation of the surface tension of liquid alloys, molten salt mixtures and molten slag. In addition, phase diagrams in nanosized particle alloy systems, which are affected by the surface energy, are also shown with some models and procedures to evaluate the above surface properties.
