Popis: Previously described cluster methods are used to estimate pairwise configurational interactions V(r) in a number of binary alloys from data on the diffuse scattering of neutrons or X-rays by these alloys. The temperature dependence of the parameters V estimated from the most reliable (neutron) data appears to be rather weak. The concentration dependence for the Ni-Cu alloys studied is, in contrast, strong and unusual; this seems to be due to band-structure effects. First-principles estimates of V obtained using the coherent-potential approximation agree in order of magnitude with our V while those based on the Connolly and Williams approach, (1983), neglecting non-nearest-neighbour interactions, seem to over estimate and values of V considerably.
