Abstract
Almost immediately after the discovery of quantum mechanics, physicists and metallurgist began the task of trying to understand the origins of alloy phase stability in terms of the underlying electronic structure. Hume-Rothery [1] used the chemical concepts of electronegativity and atomic size supplemented with the solid state physics notion of electron to atom ratio to formulate a set of rules that could be used to rationalize the complex array of phases that form when two elemental metals are mixed to form an alloy. The Hume-Rothery rulesand their progeny [2], [3] have proved very successful in providing metallurgists and alloy designers with a basis for understanding alloy phase stability.
