Abstract
The embedded atom method (EAM) was used to theoretically analyze the effect of the lattice parameter variation on the order-disorder transformation in binary alloys. Based on EAM, it is found that only one kind of order-disorder transition (second-order transition) exists for AB alloy. Three groups of order-disorder transformation can be observed for the A3B or AB3 compounds. For group I the order-disorder is a completely first-order transition. For group II, the order-disorder transformation is a classical first-order transition. For group III, the order-disorder transformation is found to be a second-order transition. The lattice parameter variations have a significant effect on E2 coefficient, which is related to the ordering energy. These results are in good agreement with experiments.
