Electronic structure and magnetism of Co–Fe alloys with short-range order

Abstract Using a model which considers the localized and itinerant nature of the 3d electrons, and short-range order correlations, we obtain Co x Fe 1− x binary magnetic alloys electronic structure for different values of concentration x for subsequently finding the magnetic moment behaviour of each of the alloy components as function of the Co concentration x . In this way we are able to obtain results that agree with experiments of polarized neutrons diffraction.
