Abstract

We elucidate the magnetic properties of amorphous Fe-Ni alloys by combining the geometrical-mean model for the ground-state electronic structure calculations of amorphous alloys with the finite-temperature theory of metallic magnetism. The numerical results show the strong ferromagnetism in the region 0.1≤c≤0.8 and the shift of the Curie-temperature maximum to the higher Fe concentration in agreement with the experimental data. We have clarified that these behaviors are not simply due to the volume change, but due to the change of electronic structure which causes the magnetic energy gain. The agreement between the calculated concentration dependence of effective Bohr magneton number and the experimental data for liquid alloys also supports our theoretical results.
