The continuous and rapid increase of areal density in magnetic data storage systems
required a continuous increase of the coercivity of the storage media. In order to be able to …

Abstract A fast KKR CPA method is explained and its convergence properties are examined
numerically. It is shown that a step number of N≃ 300, which determines the number of k …

In this paper we use the coherent-potential approximation within the Korringa-Kohn-
Rostocker band-structure scheme to investigate the influence of atomic disorder on …

An attempt is made to show the close connection between martensitic transformations, the
Invar effect, magnetovolume instabilities, and associated low-moment–high-moment (LM …

We present a detailed theoretical investigation of the magnetic properties of all the binary
alloys between the 3 d elements Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu, in the fcc, bcc, and hcp structures using …

We present ab initio calculations for dilute Fe alloys with 3d and 4d elements. The
calculations are based on local-density approximation of density-functional theory and …

The longest relaxation time and sharpest frequency content in ferromagnetic precession is
determined by the intrinsic (Gilbert) relaxation rate G. For many years, pure iron (Fe) has had …

We present first-principles coherent-potential-approximation calculations for the fcc FeNi
alloy. We have found that this system is characterized by a competition between a low-spin …

The effects of hydrogen on the ground-state electronic and magnetic structures of AB 2 (A=
Zr; B= V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) Laves phase compounds were investigated by first-principles …

The ground state electron density distribution can be determined from the Doppler
broadening of Compton scattered radiation. It is shown that Compton scattering of …
