The effect of antiphase boundaries on structural and energetic characteristics of the Cu-Pt alloys
The effects of smearing of antiphase boundaries in CuPt, Cu <sub>3</sub>Pt, and CuPt <sub>3</sub> alloys at different temperatures is investigated. Computer simulations are performed by means of the Monte Carlo method. Structural transformations of the alloy in the vicinity of the antiphase boundaries, leading to their smearing and faceting, are described for increasing temperature.
