| Popis | We have performed a theoretical study of three different allotropes of Pb-supersaturated Sn-rich Pb-Sn alloys with the ?-Sn, ß-Sn and a simple hexagonal ?-Sn structure employing quantum-mechanical calculations. Structure-property relations were analyzed in the case of the lattice parameters, thermodynamic stability, elastic properties and mechanical stability as well as electronic-structure density of states. Compositional trends in structural, thermodynamic and electronic-structure properties were found nearly linear. Our theoretical study sheds new light on a decades-long controversy related to the ?-phase of supersaturated Sn-rich Pb-Sn alloys reported in earlier papers. We suggest that the experimental difficulties in synthesizing the ?-phase solid solutions are due to the high formation energy of this phase.
