Extract

Calculations are made to investigate the behaviour of ordering near the critical temperature for alloys with a superlattice of the type AB for various compositions. No fluctuation among the sites of the same kind, which may lead to the possible existence of some other types of superlattice, say, AB3, is considered. Results showing the change of ordering with T near Tc are plotted.

The theory is also applied to the adsorption of gases upon a solid surface, where the sites of accommodation are regularly arranged. It is shown that under certain conditions, a superlattice formation in the adsorbed layer is possible.
