On the total electronic energy and the magnetic properties of pure and nitrogenated Y2Fe17 compounds

  • 1. Max-Planck-Inst. fuer Metallforschung, Inst. fuer Physik, Stuttgart (Germany, F.R.)

Description

The local magnetic moments at the various Fe and Y sites in Y2Fe17 have been calculated as functions of the unit cell volume, using the tight-binding LMTO-ASA method. By this the volume dilatation upon nitrogenation which is responsible for the modification of the magnetic properties is simulated. Whereas the zero-temperature magnetization only increases by about 10% for the experimentally observed volume dilatation, the magnetic contribution to the total energy increases by 75%. (orig.)
