Abstract

Finite-temperature magnetism in Fe-Pd and Co-Pt alloys requires including induced-moment-mediated exchange, with Curie temperatures calculated via an extended Heisenberg model using ab-initio KKR exchange parameters.

The finite-temperature magnetic properties of Fe_xPd_{1-x} and Co_xPt_{1-x} alloys have been investigated. It is shown that the temperature-dependent magnetic behaviour of alloys, composed of originally magnetic and non-magnetic elements, cannot be described properly unless the coupling between magnetic moments at magnetic atoms (Fe,Co) mediated through the interactions with induced magnetic moments of non-magnetic atoms (Pd,Pt) is included. A scheme for the calculation of the Curie temperature (T_C) for this type of systems is presented which is based on the extended Heisenberg Hamiltonian with the appropriate exchange parameters J_{ij} obtained from {\em ab-initio} electronic structure calculations. Within the present study the KKR Green's function method has been used to calculate the J_{ij} parameters. A comparison of the obtained Curie temperatures for Fe_xPd_{1-x} and Co_xPt_{1-x} alloys with experimental data shows rather good agreement.
