Abstract

The electronic structure of a disordered alloy is described by a real-space tight-binding calculation in a configurational averaging scheme. Using appropriate starting vector for the recursion method, it is found that the new approach presented here improves substantially ( by a factor five to ten ) previous methods and allows a realistic determination of quantities for the phase diagrams computation related to the electronic structure.
