Thermodynamic modelling of thermophysical and structural properties of liquid alloys

An overview of the existing models developed to link the thermodynamic and the thermophysical properties in the framework of statistical mechanical theory in conjunction with the quasi-lattice theory (QLT). Case studies were presented for the most relevant topics that are of interest for metal/ceramic related simulations: energetic and structural factors related to the mixing behavior of liquid binary alloys, QLT of mixtures, surface properties of liquid binary alloys: surface segregation and surface tension, presentation of the "compound formation model" and application to the case of "strong interaction", diffusion and viscosity in the atomic transport, segregating alloys and the "self association model".
