Ab initio pseudopotential study of Fe, Co, and Ni employing the spin-polarized LAPW approach.

چکیده
The ground-state properties of Fe, Co, and Ni are studied with the linearaugmented-plane-wave (LAPW) method and norm-conserving pseudopotentials. The calculated lattice constant, bulk modulus, and magnetic moment with both the local-spin-density approximation (LSDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) are in good agreement with those of all-electron calculations, respectively. The GGA results show a substantial improvement over the LSDA results, i.e., better agreement with experiment. The accurate treatment of the nonlinear core-valence exchange and correlation interaction is found to be essential for the determination of the magnetic properties of 3d transition metals. The present study demonstrates the successful application of the LAPW pseudopotential approach to the calculation of ground-state properties of magnetic 3d transition metals.

We have calculated Heisenberg exchange parameters for bcc-Fe, fcc-Co, and fcc-Ni using the scalar-relativistic spin-polarized Green function technique within the tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital method and by employing the magnetic force theorem to calculate total energy changes associated with a local rotation of magnetization directions. We have also determined spin-wave stiffness cons...
متن کاملExchange Coupling and Magnetization Profiles of Binary and Ternary Magnetic Multilayers
Within a spin-polarized LMTO approach in the Atomic-Sphere approximation we calculate ab initio the magnetic properties of various binary and ternary multilayers composed of Fe, Co, Ni, Cr, V and Cu. The emphasis lies on the indirect exchange interaction of the magnetic sandwiches across the antiferromagnetic or non-magnetic spacers, and on the profiles of the intrinsic resp. induced magnetic m...

We present an ab initio pseudopotential local density functional calculation for stoichiometric high-Tc cuprate YBa2Cu3O7 using the plane-wave basis set. We have overcome well-known difficulties in applying pseudopotential methods to first-row elements, transition metals, and rare-earth materials by carefully generating norm-conserving pseudopotentials with excellent transferability and employi...
متن کاملMagnetocrystalline 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...
متن کاملHigh-Field Studies of Band Ferromagnetism in Fe and Ni by Mössbauer and Magnetic Moment Measurements
High-field susceptibility XHF in Fe and Ni (at 4.2, 77, and 300 K) and high-field Mossbauer studies in Fe at 4.2°K are reported and related to the band structure of Fe and Ni and to band models of ferromag netism. The Mossbauer effect was employed to measure the change in the hyperfine field H n at the 57Fe nucleus with application of an external field. Assuming H n to be proportional to the b...
