- metallurgy.enthalpy.calculate_WS_enthalpy_component(element_a: str, element_b: str, Q: Number) Number[source]
Calculates the Wigner-Seitz radius discontinuity contribution to the gamma factor in the Miedema model of mixing enthalpy. See equation 1 of: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cpc.2016.08.013
- Parameters:¶
- element_a: str¶
The periodic table symbol of element A
