Abstract

The thermodynamic properties of Ba2In2O5 are studied using Monte Carlo simulation of an ab initio based cluster expansion. The simulations predict a first-order orthorhombic to tetragonal phase transition, followed by a second-order tetragonal to cubic phase transition, which is in good agreement with experiments. It is predicted that the orthorhombic to tetragonal transition is associated with major disordering in the O(3) plane as well as some introduction of vacancies in the O(2) plane.
