We present thermodynamic and elastic theory for BCC metal and binary interstitial alloy established by the statistical moment method (SMM) and perform numerical calculations for the silicon concentration, pressure and temperature dependences of nearest neighbor distance, volume, thermal expansion coefficient, heat capacities at constant volume and at constant pressure, Debye temperature, Gruneisen parameter, isothermal elastic modulus, bulk modulus, shearing modulus, elastic constants and longitudinal wave velocity for W and WSi under temperature up to 3600 K, pressure up to 100 GPa and silicon atom concentration up to 5%. The SMM numerical calculations for W are compared with experiments and other calculations. The SMM calculated results for WSi are predictive, orienting experimental results in the future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
