Electronic structure and magnetism of disordered bcc Fe alloys

چکیده
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 alloying Fe with the other neighbouring 3-d transition metals using arguments based on charge transfer, exchange splitting and hybridization effects.

Electronic structure and magnetism of Fe1ÀxPdx alloys
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 finall...
متن کاملMagnetism in bcc and fcc Fe with carbon and manganese.
Density functional theory calculations were performed to study the structure and magnetic properties of bcc (α) and fcc (γ) Fe with 3 at.% carbon and manganese impurities. We find that all bcc-based Fe, Fe-C and Fe-Mn-C phases exhibit a ferromagnetic (FM) ground state, while the antiferromagnetic double-layer (AFMD) state is lowest in energy within the collinear spin approach in fcc Fe, Fe-C an...
متن کاملStructure, energetics, and mechanical stability of Fe-Cu bcc alloys from first-principles calculations
Atomic volumes, magnetic moments, mixing energies, and the elastic properties of bcc Fe1−xCux solid solutions are studied by ab initio calculations based on the cluster expansion framework. For the calculation of concentration-dependent elastic moduli in disordered solid solutions, we introduce a generalization of the cluster expansion technique that is designed to handle tensorial quantities i...
متن کاملThe effect of carbon distribution on the manganese magnetic moment in bcc Fe-Mn alloy.
First-principles calculations were performed to study the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of bcc Fe with C impurities alloyed with 2, 3, and 6 at.% of Mn. Our results reveal that both manganese concentration and carbon location with respect to Mn affect the Fe-Mn magnetic interaction. With an increase in Mn concentration in bcc Fe-Mn alloy, the local magnetic moment of manganese...
متن کاملMagnetism, elasticity, and magnetostriction of FeCoGa alloys
It is known that the substitution of Co for Fe gives rise to increases in magnetization and Curie temperature, not only in the bcc metals, but also in intermetallic compounds and alloys as well. With the expectation that this is the case in Co-substituted FeGa, we measured magnetization, Curie temperature, magnetostriction and elastic constants of a series of polycrystalline FeCoGa ternary allo...
