Thermodynamic models for crystalline phases. Composition dependent models for volume, bulk modulus and thermal expansion

The thermodynamic modelling of solid (crystalline) phases forms a central topic within the Calphad approach and a variety of aspects have been discussed at previous Ringberg workshops. At the present Ringberg workshop, modelling of volume and its temperature, pressure and composition dependence formed a major part of the discussions. In addition, modelling of the heat capacity above the (equilibrium) melting temperature, sublattice modelling of complex phases, modelling of ordering and interstitial solutions in the bcc lattice and the effect of magnetism were addressed.
