Magnetic properties of<i>Pt</i>Fe alloys calculated by Monte Carlo methods

Abstract

A magnetic-environment model is used to calculate, by Monte Carlo methods, the critical temperatures and magnetization of dilute PtFe alloys. The diffuse unpolarized-neutron cross sections were also calculated, including the critical scattering, in both PtFe and PdFe alloy. A good agreement with experimental data was obtained for all calculations.
