Temperature dependent first order magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant model for ferromagnetic metals

Magnetocrystalline anisotropy and orbital polarization in ferromagnetic transition metals

The magnetocrystalline anisotropy energies (MAEs) of the ferromagnetic metals bcc Fe, fcc and hcp Co, and fcc Ni have been calculated by using the ab initio tight-binding method. Disentangling the strong correlation among the d orbitals with the Hamiltonian in the local spin-density approximation, we have investigated the orbital polarizations induced by the Hubbard U and Racah B. The experimen...

Magnetocrystalline anisotropy in permalloy revisited.

Permalloy with a body-centered-cubic structure has been grown on GaAs(001) by molecular beam epitaxy. Its magnetism, Curie temperature, and magnetic anisotropy are determined experimentally and compared to those of conventional face-centered-cubic Permalloy. Unexpectedly the vanishing magnetic cubic anisotropy in Permalloy is found to be independent of its atomic structure but depends only upon...

Magnetocrystalline Anisotropy in a Single Crystal Fe–Ni–Ga Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloy*

In order to discuss the advent of the magnetic-field-induced strains for a single crystal Fe22:0Ni51:5Ga26:5 shape memory alloy, the magnetic easy axis in the 14M martensite phase and the magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant K have been investigated. From the data on the spontaneous thermal expansion and the magnetization curves, the magnetic easy axis of the 14M martensite phase was determin...
