Abstract

We present a formulation of the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker coherent potential approximation (KKPt-CPA) for the treatment of substitutionally disordered alloys within the KKR atomic-sphere approximation (ASA). This KKR-ASA-CPA represents the first step toward the implementation of a full cell potential CPA, and combines the accuracy of the KKR-CPA method with the flexibility of treating complex crystal structures. The accuracy of this approach has been tested by comparing the self-consistent-field (SCF) KKR-ASA-CPA calculations of Cu-Pd alloys with experimental results and previous SCF-KKR-CPA calculations.
