DOIAbstract
The β phase of the ternary alloy Cu-Al-Mn, with bcc structure, displays an interesting variety of long-range atomic ordering and magnetic transitions. In this work, we present a model that allows an accurate reproduction of the measured critical temperatures for alloys with compositions along the pseudobinary line Cu3Al-Cu2AlMn. The method is based on the Monte Carlo technique, allowing simultaneous evolution of the atomic distribution and the magnetic state. The configurational part of the energy is represented with a three-state Hamiltonian; the six interchange energies that govern the chemical interactions between nearest and next-nearest neighbours atoms have been determined. The magnetic counterpart is modelled by means of an Ising mod...
