The valence electron structures of main phases and phase interphase boundaries in Al-Ag binary alloy were analyzed according to the Empirical Electronic Theory in solid and molecules (EET).

The kinetic Monte Carlo method based on the Multi-States Ising Model,was applied to simulate the effect of microelements on the microstructural evolution of Al-Ag alloys during initial aging stage.

Taking into account the influence on the lattice constant from temperature,the valence electronic structures of GP zones of η-form in the Al-Ag alloy,and the interfacial energy between GP zones of η-form and matrix were calculated by using empirical electron theory in solid and molecules(EET) and the extension of Becker model.

The valence electron structure of GP zone ? phase in Al-Ag alloy was calculated according to the “empirical electronic theory in solid”(EET), and the interface energy based on the information of the valence electron structure was calculated also.
