Abstract

We have performed calculations of the electronic structure of the random substitutional bcc Fe1-xCrx alloys, using the spin-polarized, self-consistent Korringa, Kohn and Rostoker coherent potential approximation (KKR-CPA) method. This is a first principles method based on a local spin density approximation for electron exchange and correlation energy. For the iron-rich alloys, we find that the average moment decreases linearly with Cr concentration, although the individual moments show a different concentration dependence and the Cr moment is anti-parallel to the Fe moment. This system is similar to Fe1-xVx system, although some details are different.
