Magnetic Compton scattering study of the ferromagnetic amorphous alloys Fe1-xBx

Abstract

The boron contribution to the total spin moment in the amorphous alloys Fe1-xBx (x=0.2,0.24) has been determined using magnetic Compton scattering. The magnitude of the induced boron moment was found to be ≈-0.04μB per formula unit which is a factor of ≈2 less than that suggested by supercell linearized muffin-tin orbital electronic structure calculations. © 2001 The American Physical Society
