Abstract
The different roles played by atomic size and electronic factors in stabilizing the transition metal Laves phases against the two competing phases C11b(MoSi2) and C16(CuAl2) are studied within a simple tight binding d bond model. Good qualitative agreement with the experimental AB2 structure map is found if size and electronic factors are both included.Keywords
