Abstract

It is shown that spin waves in dilute ferromagnetic transition metal alloys can be described in terms of effective matrix-matrix and impurity-matrix exchange integrals. Such a parametrization is exact within the random phase approximation for long-wavelength spin waves. The effective impurity-matrix exchange integral is determined in the tight-binding approximation in terms of the impurity potential and local density of states. The present theory is applied qualitatively to NiFe alloys.
