Abstract

Physical Sciences Physics Physics, Applied Physics, Condensed Matter Science & Technology
Ab initio simulations are used to investigate the spin magnetic moments of free standing alloy nanowires of Fe(1-x)Mx (M=Co/Ni; x=0 to 1) in the bcc (110) orientation. The variation of average magnetic moments shows a systematic reduction with the addition of Co/Ni that is at variance with the Slater-Pauling curve, well known for bulk transition metal alloys. These results are rationalized on the basis of spin-polarized density of states.
