Magnetic Cluster Expansion Study of Chromium Precipitates in Fe-Cr Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

Magnetic Cluster Expansion method is applied to the investigation of magnetic properties of Fe-Cr alloys treated as a function of Cr content, the spatial distribution of Cr atoms, and temperature. Random Fe-Cr alloys and Cr clusters formed in concentrated alloys are analyzed. We find significant differences between the types of magnetic order characterizing those systems, which are reflected in the characteristic variation of the temperature-dependent magnetic specific heat. Simulations show that in random Fe-Cr alloys and in alloys containing Cr clusters, the interplay between antiferromagnetic interactions characterizing Fe-Cr and Cr-Cr atom pairs gives rise to unusual patterns of finite temperature magnetic ordering.
