Ising model for the FepAlq alloys according to the effective field theory

FeAl alloys in their disordered structural phase have been investigated through an Ising model where besides exchange interactions between nearest-neighbors Fe atoms, a superexchange interaction mediated by Al atoms is also taken into account. The model has been approximately treated according to the effective field theory. Although the phase diagram, as a function of Al concentration, is similar to the one previously obtained from Bogoliubov variational approach for the free energy, a different behavior for the superexchange interaction is achieved, which can also be physically accepted for this system.
