A face-centered-cubic Ising lattice-gas model with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor interactions is studied, and an accurate determination of the transition temperature for the discontinuous order-disorder transition is obtained. This model is of interest in the studies of phase diagrams for metallic alloys. The location of the transition was previously not known accurately, and its estimation has a number of applications. Very accurate absolute free-energy densities for the two coexisting phases have been obtained from a combination of the standard thermodynamic integration method and the method of sampling finite-size dependence. The latent-heat also is calculated with good precision.
