Magnetic structure of selected Gd intermetallic alloys from first principles
Abstract
Using first-principles calculations, based on disordered local moment (DLM) theory combined with the self-interaction corrected local spin density approximation (SIC-LSDA), we study magnetic correlations in the paramagnetic state of GdX(X=Cu, Zn, Ga, Ag, Cd, In, Au, Hg, and Tl) intermetallics and their alloys. The predicted magnetic orders and ordering temperatures that these correlations lead to are in overall good agreement with available experiments. The interactions between the Gd f-electron local moments are mediated by the valence electrons of the intermetallics which comprise both Gd and Xd bands as well as sp bands. Furthermore, there are RKKY-like features such as dependence on the number of sp-valence electrons but other variations manifest themselves in the phase diagrams as regions of incommensurate magnetic ordering, the origin and range of which are related to the binding energies of the alloying anion d states, and their propensity to hybridize with the Gd states at the Fermi level.
