Abstract

Fe-rich Fe-B amorphous metals exhibit approximately collinear magnetic structure. When a certain amount of Fe atoms are replaced with Mn, the magnetic structure of the alloys is found to become non-collinear. We performed electronic structure calculations using the locally self-consistent multiple scattering (LSMS) method for supercell samples generated by ab initio molecular dynamics simulation using the Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP). We present the distribution of moment sizes and angular distributions in the FeMn-B amorphous metal samples. We discuss the Mn effect on the magnetic structure of the alloys.
