Tight-Binding study of the electronic and magnetic properties of an L1_0 ordered FeCu alloy

Abstract

We have calculated the electronic structure of the tetragonal L1${}_0$ ordered FeCu by solving self-consistently a tight-binding Hamiltonian for s, p and d electrons. We have found by total energy calculation that this structure is ferromagnetic. In addition, we have determined that the equilibrium ratio between the interlayer and the intralayer lattice parameters is 0.947.
