First-Principles Investigation of L10-Disorder Phase Equilibrium in Fe–Pt System

چکیده
First-principles study is attempted to investigate L10-disorder phase equilibrium in Fe–Pt system. The present study consists of electronic structure total energy calculations by FLAPW for the ground state and statistical mechanics calculations by Cluster Variation Method for finite temperatures. It is revealed that the magnetism plays a crucial role in the phase stability. The spin polarized FLAPW calculation confirms that the most stable magnetic state for FePt3 (L12) is anti-ferro, and the incorporation of anti-ferro magnetic state is critical to reproduce the experimental L10-disorder transition temperature. Thermal vibration effects considered based on Debye-Gruneisen model further improve the calculated transition temperature.

Accelerating disorder–order transitions of FePt by preforming a metastable AgPt phase
Many approaches had been reported to successfully reduce the transition temperature of FePt from A1 to L10 phase, though without detailed knowledge. In this work, we deposited the metastable AgPt layer adjacent to the Fe layer and addressed the importance of vacancies in the disorder–order transition of FePt at reduced temperatures on the basis of a kinetic diffusion model. The decomposition of...

High magneto- crystalline anisotropy (ku=7×106j/m3) of L10-FePt nanoparticles are an excellent candidate for ultra high-density magnetic recording. The 4 nm FePt nanocrystals were prepared by superhydride reduction of FeCl2·4H2O and Pt(acac)2 precursors in the phenyl ether by reduction of the 1, 2-hexadecanediol and LiBEt3H superhydride. The crystal and magnetic structures were studied by XRD a...

First-principles calculations of the energy of various crystal structures of Fe, Ni and ordered Fe–Ni compounds with different stoichiometries have been performed by the linearized augmented plane wave (LAPW) method in the generalized gradient approximation. The most stable compounds are L12–Ni3Fe, L10–FeNi, C11f–Ni2Fe and C11f–Fe2Ni. The L12–Ni3Fe compound has the largest negative formation en...

We have studied the lattice parameter changes of L10 FePt nanoparticles annealed to near equilibrium as a function of composition by x-ray diffraction. We have found that the ~111! diffraction peak shifts linearly with composition, however, the c parameter mostly changes in the Pt rich compositions and the a parameter mostly changes in the Fe rich compositions with respect to the equiatomic com...

– A model of magnetic interactions in the ordered ferromagnetic FePt is proposed on the basis of first-principles calculations of non-collinear magnetic configurations and shown to be capable of explaining recent measurements of magnetic-anisotropy energy (MAE). The site (Fe,Pt) resolved contributions to the MAE have been distinguished with small Fe easyplane and large Pt easy-axis terms. This ...
