Electronic structure and magnetism of Co1−xPdx and Ni1−xPdx ordered alloys

Electronic and magnetic properties of Pd-Ni multilayers: Study using density functional theory

“…The authors found, except BCC Ni 1Àx Pd x alloys, that the enhancement of the magnetic moments of ferromagnetic atoms becomes larger as the percentage of Pd in the alloys increases, whereas the spin polarization of Pd atoms shows less sensitive about the change. In the second one, the same authors confirm your earlier first-principles calculations [11] and report a result obtained in single-crystalline Ni x Pd 1Àx alloy grown on Cu(0 0 1)/ FeCu 3 layer over GaAs(0 0 1) substrate. The alloy shows ferromagnetism when xZ0.25 at room temperature and its average magnetic moment decreases as Pd content increases.…”

“…We can mention two references related with the magnetism in Ni 1Àx Pd x [11] and Ni x Pd 1Àx [12] alloys. In the first one, ab initio calculations for both FCC and BCC Ni 1Àx Pd x alloys and Co 1Àx Pd x alloys (x ¼ 0.25; 0.50; 0.75; 1.00) have been carried out.…”

First order reversal curve analysis of nanocrystalline Pd80Co20 alloy films

“…The results obtained by energy dispersive spectrometry correspond approximately to an alloy composition of Pd 80 Co 20 with an atomic deviation of ±2%, and this value is in full accord with the lattice constant obtained from the positions of the X-ray diffraction lines (cf. Table 1 in Shi et al [23]). The mean grain sizes, derived from the XRD patterns by application of Scherrer's formula [19], were proportional to the pH of the plating bath (Fig.…”

“…Shi et al [23] have calculated, from first principles, the average magnetic moments of Co 1−x Pd x alloys with an fcc structure in the unit cell. By interpolation of these numerical results for the composition Pd 80 Co 20 0.65 B /atom), and considering the theoretical density of the samples, a magnetization saturation 0 M S of approximately 0.54 T would be expected.…”

Magnetism and magnetic anisotropy of NixPd1−x alloy

“…Magnetic anisotropy is one of the intensively studied issues due to its critical role in magnetic recording. It is known to be affected by several factors, such as structure [1,2], film strain [3] and thickness [4], temperature [5], broken symmetry at the interface [6] and so forth. As a potential candidate for magnetic recording, Ni x Pd 1Àx alloy has been studied for a long time.…”
