The Ising model is isomorphic with the lattice gas and with the nearest-neighbour model for a binary alloy, enabling the solution for one to be transcribed into solutions for the others. The tlnee problems are thus essentially one and the same problem, which emphasizes the importance of the Ising model in developing our understanding not only of ferromagnets but other systems as well. 

Onsager s solution to the 2D Ising model in zero field (H= 0) is one of the most celebrated results in theoretical chemistry [105] it is the first example of critical exponents. Also, the solution for the Ising model can be mapped onto the lattice gas, binary alloy and a host of other systems that have Hamiltonians that are isomorphic to the Ising model Hamiltonian. 

There seem to be many binary metallic systems in which there are phases of this sort. In the sodium-lead system there are two such phases. One of them, based on the ideal structure Na3Pb, extends from 27 to 30 atomic percent lead, with its maximum at about 28 atomic percent lead and the other, corresponding to the ideal composition NaPb3, extends from 68 to 72 atomic percent lead, with maximum at about 70 atomic percent. The intensities of X-ray reflection have verified that in the second of these phases sodium atoms occupy the positions 0, 0, 0, and the other three positions in the unit cell are occupied by lead atoms isomorphously replaced to some extent by sodium atoms (Zintl Harder, 1931). These two phases are interesting in that the ranges of stability do not include the pure compounds Na8Pb and NaPb3. 

T. C. Tranter (36) has studied the binary copolymers based on hexamethylene diamine and -phenylene dipropionic, 3-(/>-carboxy-methyl)phenyl-butyric, 2-(/>-carbomethoxy)phenylpropionic, hydro-quinone diacetic, terephthalic, adipic, or sebacic acids. In spite of the fact that only the copolymers of hexamethylene diamine with/>-phenylene dipropionic and with 2-(/>-carbomethoxy)phenylpropionic acids show a linear softening point composition curve, Tranter claims for isomorphism in the copolymers of all the systems. In fact, their X-ray examination shows that they behave in the same basic manner, the second component dissolving in the lattice of the first until a certain critical concentration is reached, where the lattice structure changes quite abruptly to that of the second component. 

Isomorphous replacement in isotactic polyaldehydes was shown by A. Tanake, Y. Hozumi, K. Hatada, S. Endo, and R. Fujishige (42). These authors studied the binary polymer systems formed by acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, n-butyraldehyde, iso-butyraldehyde and w-heptanal. All the copolymers are crystalline over the whole range of compositions. In the case of binary copolymers of acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde and K-butyraldehyde the unit cells have the same tetragonal space group UJa, with the same chain axis (4.8 A), while the dimensions of the a axis change continuously as a function of the copolymer composition. In the case of copolymers of isobutyraldehyde with other aldehydes, the continuous variation of the lattice constants a and c were observed. 

The binary system which is easiest to describe is the so-called ideal binary system . As you can tell from the inverted commas, such a system does not really exist, but there are systems which come very close. In an ideal system the components in the S and L phase are completely miscible. In order to be so in the S phase, the substances need to be isomorphous, i.e. possess the same crystal structure. This is often accompanied by an analogous chemical structure. Some examples of these systems are silver (Ag) / gold (Au) and sodium nitrate (NaN03) / calcium carbonate (CaC03). 

Because there is no unique principal axis in D2, the Mulliken conventions are not used in naming the representations of D2. These two groups are isomorphous and the character systems of the four IRs are identical, but corresponding representations are labeled differently, which tends to obscure rather than emphasize the isomorphism. Note that C2x and ox are corresponding elements, and so are C2y and totally symmetric representation in D2). In C2V, the Mulliken designations B and B2 are arbitrary because there are two equivalent improper binary axes normal to z. 

In view of the above said, it is difficult to realize that the factors considered are connected with formation of new phases, chemical compounds or isomorphic substitutions of ions in the crystalline lattice, etc. and aimed at substantial changing the specific surface areas of synthesized samples. Therefore, without any extensive hypotheses, we will formulate conditions that should be satisfied by the initial binary system providing the most extensive surface and a high sorption capacity of the samples. 

AC or BC, which melts at a higher temperature than either of the pure elements (except for the InSb-Sb case). The binary phase diagram consists of two simple eutectic systems on either side of the compound (e.g., the A-AC and the AC-C systems). The third binary phase diagram represents solid-liquid equilibrium between elements from the same group. In Figure 1 the A-B portion of the ternary phase diagram is depicted as being isomorphous...

The lattice models have been used frequently in theoretical studies of adsorption. The wide popularity of this approach results from its flexibility and simplicity. It may be applied for systems of various dimensionahties, for many lattice geometries, for different models of adsorbate-adsorbate molecular interactions, and many spatially varying external fields. Most studies have focused on a two-dimensional or three-dimensional cubic lattice, with only isotropic nearest-neighbor couplings. The isomorphism between the Ising model and the classical lattice gas or a coarse model of binary mixture is well known and very helpfijl for theoretical analysis. The lattice models can be also appHed to describe the systems involving polymers. 

Complete solid solubility for a binary system means that atoms of one constituent can be substituted for the other over the entire range of compositions in both the solid and liquid state without introducing a different phase. Such alloys are said to be isomorphous. Hume-Rothery developed a set of criteria that must be met in order for a system to exhibit complete solid solubility ... 

We will now set out to compute the free energies for the solid and liquid phases of an ideal isomorphous binary system and the resulting phase diagram using a very simple model. If we add the entropy of mixing (Equation 12.3) to the dhemical potentials of pure A and pure B solid and we can write the free energy of the solid as... 

Crystallization of Blends The first polymer blend was made from two polymeric mbbers in 1846, but polymer blend technology and a scientific understanding of the underlying principles controlling the compatibility (or lack of) in polymer mixtures (alloys as they have been named recently) has taken place only in the latter part of the current century. Many blends are non-crystalline but our interest in this document is focused on the kinetics of phase transformations of binary and ternary systems that receives more attention annually. Some of these systems can be very complicated, often comprised of multiple phases that m involve homopolymers, copolymers, mesophases and the like. Polymorphism and even isomorphism may occur...
