Virtual Crystal Approximation and Total Energy

Hi to all. I study a system that has two phases: ordered and disordered (at the same stoichiometry and unit cell). I have found that the atomic ordering is energetically preferable with the ordering energy of 22 eV. I am not comfortable with such a huge value, since an investigation of disordering w...
