Abstract
Using the first-principles full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method, we investigate the magnetostriction of Fe4N. Its magnetostrictive coefficient is found to be −143ppm. In order to enhance the magnetostriction, the derivative MnFe3N is taken into our consideration according to the rigid band model. Interestingly, we find that the magnetostrictive coefficient is enhanced to be+373ppm. To further improve the magnetostriction, we calculate the magnetostrictive coefficient of the derivatives containing 4d and 5d metal due to their strong spin–orbit coupling. The results show that the magnetostrictive coefficient can reach to −564ppm and+416ppm for OsFe3N and IrFe3N. Our calculations give a guideline for designing giant magnetostriction material.
