- We employ a first-principles cluster-expansion method in combination with canonical Monte Carlo simulations to study the effect of spin-orbit coupling on the alloying behavior of multilayer Bi1-xSbx. Our simulations reveal that spin-orbit coupling plays an essential role in determining the configurational thermodynamics of Bi and Sb atoms. Without the presence of spin-orbit coupling, Bi1-xSbx is predicted to exhibit at low-temperature chemical ordering of Bi and Sb atoms, leading to formation of an ordered structure at x approximate to 0.5. Interestingly, the spin-orbit-coupling effect intrinsically induced by the existence of Bi and Sb results in the disappearance of chemical ordering of the constituent elements within an immiscible region existing at T < 370 K, and consequently Bi1-xSbx displays merely a tendency toward local segregation of Bi and Sb atoms, resulting in coexistence of Bi-rich and Sb-rich Bi1-xSbx solid solutions without the formation of any ordered structure of Bi1-xSbx as predicted in the absence of spin-orbit coupling. These findings distinctly highlight an influence of spin-orbit coupling on the alloying behavior of Bi1-xSbx and probably other alloys composed of heavy elements, where the spin-orbit-coupling effect is supposed to be robust.
