چکیده
In this communication we present a study of the electronic structure of partially disordered bulk and (100) thin film of quaternary pseudo-Heusler alloy Co2Fe0.4Cr0.6Al in the L21 phase using the Augmented Space recursion (ASR) in a scalar-relativistic tight binding linear muffin-tin orbitals (TB-LMTO) basis. We study the orbital resolved magnetic moment contributions of the constituents of the alloy. Our theoretical predictions match well with the available experimental observations for the magnetic moments of Fe and Co but they overestimate that of Cr. For a (100) thin film, layer as well as orbital resolved properties have been studied.

متن کاملMagnetic properties of X-Pt (X=Fe,Co,Ni) alloy systems
We have studied the electronic and magnetic properties of Fe-Pt, CoPt and Ni-Pt alloy systems in ordered and disordered phases. The influence of various exchange-correlation functionals on values of equilibrium lattice parameters and magnetic moments in ordered Fe-Pt, Co-Pt and Ni-Pt alloys have been studied using linearized muffin-tin orbital method. The electronic structure calculations for t...
متن کاملStudy of the structural properties of Co 2 YGe ( Y = Sc , Ti , V , Cr , Mn , Fe ) by GGA method
The structural properties of Co2YGe, a Heusler alloy have been evaluated by first principles density functional theory through total energy calculations at 0 K by the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method as implemented in WIEN2K code. The calculated results were compared with the previously reported results. Generalized gradient approximation (GGA) was used to study t...
متن کاملELECTRONIC STRUCTURE AND MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF THE Y (Fe1-xCox)2 ALLOYS
We report on a theoretical investigation of the electronic structure and magnetic properties of the pseudobinary Y (Fel-,Co,)2 Laves phase alloys. The magnetic properties are found to be well described by a Slater-Pauling curve with a maximum of the magnetisation at z = 0.25. A Fixed Spin Moment (FSM) calculation is used to describe the disappearance of the magnetic moment as a function of allo...
متن کاملFundamentals of MR– RA scaling : TMR vs. GMR
At reduced sensor dimensions required for high density magnetic recording, scaling of magneto-resistance (MR) and resistance area product (RA) with sensor thickness is one of a critical materials specific properties. We consider fundamental aspects of RA scaling problem by investigating two classes of planar FM/NM/FM hetero-structures : (i) Fe/MgO/Fe tunneling junctions and (ii) CPP-GMR based o...
