Williams approach

Formula for the chemical potentials have been derived in terms of the formation energy of the four point defects. In the process the conceptual basis for calculating point defect energies in ordered alloys and the dependence of point defect concentrations on them has been clarified. The statistical physics of point defects in ordered alloys has been well described before [13], but the present work represents a generalisation in the sense that it is not dependent on any particular model, such as the Bragg-Williams approach with nearest neighbour bond energies. It is hoped that the results will be of use to theoreticians as well as... 

The most essential step in a mean-field theory is the reduction of the many-body problem to a scheme that treats just a small number of molecules in an external field. The external field is chosen such that it mimics the effect of the other molecules in the system as accurately as possible. In this review we will discuss the Bragg Williams approach. Here the problem is reduced to behaviour of a single chain (molecule) in an external field. Higher order models (e.g. Quasi-chemical or Bethe approximations) are possible but we do not know applications of this for bilayer membranes. 

The Williams approach to bicyclo[5.4.0]undecane containing molecules such as the cyathins, striatins, dolastanes, clavularanes, grayanotoxins, tiglianes, and daphnanes also utilizes an oxidopyrylium cycloaddition to generate the ether constrained bicyclic (Scheme 4.81) (164). The object of the Williams study was to prepare the bicyclo[5.4.0]undecanes and investigate the regio- and stereocon-trolled oxidation of the substrate. 

Further examination of the Williams approach seems called for, both to improve the method for estimating parameters such as the relaxation time, and to clarify the relationship between the intramolecular potential form and non-thermodynamic frictional forces. The method might provide a fairly unified description of non-linear flow porperties if a suitable potential function for large scale molecular friction were found. Aside from the Williams work, there have been no theoretical studies dealing with t] vs. y at low to moderate concentrations. The systematic changes in the master curve /(/ ) with coil overlap c[ij] are thus without explanation at the present time. 

As shown above, in the point approximation to the cluster variation method (essentially the Bragg-Williams approach), we carry out the counting of configurations by finding all fhe ways of distributing A and B atoms that guarantee an overall concentration x of A atoms and 1 — x of B atoms. The number of such configurations is... 

The electrostatic term AE can be used to estimate the effect of coadsorbates on the chemisorption energy of adsorbed species. For several atoms 8(j>Q has been calculated by means of the self-consistent Lang-Williams approach.

In order to construct the surface phase diagram, the just described stabihty determination of the different phases was repeated as function of x (no other stable phases appeared than those already mentioned). Additionally, the chemical potential scale had to be transferred to the temperature scale. For this purpose, the interaction between antisites was neglected, so that they can be treated as independent particles. The Bragg-Williams approach [120] yields A/u. = kT]n 2x— 1) and, eventually, the phase diagram of the surface, shown in Figure 11.18. Again,...
