Abstract

The Flory's approximate model, and the model of Prasad et al. have been used respectively to study size effects on the bulk and surface properties of Bi–Zn, Cu–Pb, K–Pb and K–Tl liquid alloys.

Our results reveal that for the same value of order energy, W/T: the effect of size on the bulk properties is to reduce the tendencies toward phase separation in Bi–Zn and Cu–Pb while in K–Pb and K–Tl is to decrease the tendencies toward chemical ordering; size effect increases both the surface concentration and the surface tension of Bi–Zn and Cu–Pb while it decreases these same quantities in K–Pb and K–Tl.

Keywords: Bi–Zn; Cu–Pb; K–Pb; K–Tl; Size effects
