Electronic structure and magnetism of Fe1ÀxPdx alloys

چکیده
An ab initio linearized augmented plane-wave method has been employed to calculate the electronic and magnetic structures of both face-centered-cubic and body-centered-cubic Fe12xPdx alloys with x50.25, 0.50, and 0.75, respectively. Decreasing the Pd content in Fe12xPdx alloy from x51, the magnetic ordering of fcc Fe12xPdx changes from paramagnetism to ferromagnetism, ferrimagnetism, and finally to antiferromagnetism. However, the magnetism of bcc Fe12xPdx changes simply from paramagnetism to ferromagnetism.

Electronic structure and magnetism of disordered bcc Fe alloys
We here study electronic structure and magnetic properties of disordered bcc CoxFe1−x, CrxFe1−x and MnxFe1−x alloys in their ferromagnetic phases using Augmented Space Recursion (ASR) technique coupled with tight-binding linearized muffin tin orbital (TB-LMTO) method. We calculate the densities of states, magnetic moments and Curie temperatures of these alloys to show the variation upon alloyin...
متن کاملDensity Functional Studies on Crystal Structure and electronic properties of Potassium Alanate as a candidate for Hydrogen storage
Potassium Alanate is one of the goal candidates for hydrogen storage during past decades. In this report, initially the Density Functional Theory was applied to simulate the electronic and structural characteristic of the experimentally known KAlH4 complex hydride. The relaxation of unit cell parameters and atomic positions was performed until the total residual force reduced less than 0.001ev ...
متن کاملElectronic Structure of Half-metallic Magnets
We have analyzed the electronic structure of half-metallic magnets based on first principles electronic structure calculations of a series of semi-Heusler alloys. The characteristic feature of the electronic structure of semi-Heusler systems is a d-d gap in the density of states lying at/close to the Fermi level depending on the number of valence electrons. We have employed various indicators o...

We present a selective review of electronic structure calculations for ferromagnetic transition metal alloys. This is work based on the spin density functional theory of the inhomogeneous electron gas which we also discuss briefly. These calculations can be used to provide estimates, from ‘first principles’, of the alloys’ characteristic properties such as the saturation magnetization, Ms , and...
متن کاملElectronic structure and magnetism of the Heusler alloy Mn2NiAl: A theoretical study of the shape–memory behavior
The electronic structure and magnetism of the Heusler alloy Mn2NiAl have been studied by firstprinciples calculations. It is found that the phase transformation from the cubic to the tetragonal structure lowers the total energy, indicating that the martensitic phase is more stable and that a phase transition from austenite to martensite may happen at a lower temperature. Thus, ferromagnetic sha...
