The electronic structure of some transition metal alloys

Abstract Thermal neutron scattering experiments have provided detailed information on the distributions of magnetic moment in a number of disordered ferromagnet binary alloys. The general features of these distributions together with saturation magnetization data are discussed and compared with various simple theories. Attention is focused on dilute alloy systems. After an introduction the paper is divided into four sections, the first of which deals with alloys which tend to follow the Slater-Pauling curve. Here a simple Thomas-Fermi treatment due to Friedel suggests that magnetic moment changes, largely confined to the minor constituent (solute) sites, should occur with a sign dependent on the nature of the density of states at the Fermi level in the pure major constituent (solvent). Comparison with experiment shows qualitative agreement except in the case of Fe-based alloys containing transition element solutes from the right of Fe in the periodic table. This discrepancy is examined and an explanation ...
