Abstract
Ab initio perturbation-theory techniques, such as the generalized perturbation method and magnetic force theorem, are used to determine the Heisenberg exchange interaction parameters and the effective cluster interactions in Fe-rich bcc Fe-Cr alloys in different magnetic states. We establish a direct connection between chemical and magnetic exchange interactions, as well as their dependence on the global magnetic state of the alloy. These findings have important implications for phase equilibria in magnetic alloys. In particular, we demonstrate that the experimentally reported concentration interval of anomalous ordering in Fe-Cr alloys is determined by the thermal history of the alloys through the value of global magnetization at the annealing temperature.
