metallurgy.enthalpy.calculate_electronegativity_enthalpy_component(element_a: str, element_b: str, P: Number) Number[source]

Calculates the electronegativity 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

element_b: str

The periodic table symbol of element B

P: Number

An empirical factor dependent on the kinds of elements being mixed. P=14.1 for two transition metals, P=10.7 for two non-transition metals, and P=12.35 for one of each kind.
