First Principles Calculations of Magnetic Exchange Parameters of Fe-Mn-Al Heusler Alloys

Abstract:

The composition dependences of magnetic exchange couplings for the cubic phase of Fe_2+xMn_1-xAl Heusler alloys, where 0.0 < x < 1.0 are obtained with the help of first principles calculations. Our simulations have shown that the Fe-Fe nearest neighbors present a strong ferromagnetic coupling. Moreover, these exchange interactions are larger than the other ones.
