a, b First nearest neighbor bonding environment change for BCC and FCC phases, respectively, after the MC simulation. The change is relative to the number of bonds in the initial configuration. c–f Structures of the precipitate phase before and after the MC simulation. c Initial BCC structure. d Final ordered orthorhombic structure (a = 3.014 Å, b = 2.902 Å, and c = 2.571 Å). e top view before MC. f top view after MC. g Generalized SFE distribution of the final B2 phase. h Comparison of APB energies of the B2 phase with different configurations. The dashed line indicates the stacking fault energy of a pure NiAl B2.
