Electronic Structure Of Disordered Pd3fe

The electronic structure of disordered Pd3Fe is studied within an almost self-consistent KKR-CPA procedures. Our starting point are the self-consistent potentials for the ordered ferromagnetic Pd3Fe obtained by the LMTO method. We perform the ferromagnetic calculation and examine the influence of disorder on the electronic structure of this alloy through the analysis of the Bloch spectral functions and densities of states and compare our results with experiment. We also propose a mechanism for the formation of magnetic moments in ferromagnetic alloys. © 1987.672260270Smith, Stirling, Holden, (1977) J. Phys. F, 7, p. 2411Longworth, (1968) Phys.
