Abstract:
A theoretical investigation of the effect of disorder and substrate on the magnetic properties of the FePd alloy is presented. The magnetic moments at the Fe sites decrease as the c/a ratio decreases, while the induced Pd magnetic moments increase. The disorder effect seems to be more important for the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) of Fe and Pd edges than the strain effect induced by the substrate.
