Abstract

The interaction between atomic and magnetic order is very strong in Ni-Pt alloys, whereas Co-Pt alloys show local magnetic properties which are independent of the composition and state of order of the system. A multiple-scattering calculation on Ni-Pt alloys is used in this paper, together with band structures for ordered compounds of both Ni-Pt and Co-Pt, to discuss the origin of the difference in properties between both alloy systems.

The phase diagram thus calculated gives Curie temperatures in very good agreement with the experimental values. Amador, C., Lambrecht, W. R. L., and Segall, B. (to be published).Google Scholar
