We study the electronic structure and magnetic properties
of disordered bcc CoxFe
, CrxFe and MnxFe
alloys in their ferromagnetic phases using the
Augmented Space Recursion (ASR) technique coupled with the tight-binding
linearized muffin tin orbital (TB-LMTO) method.
We calculate the density of states and magnetic moment
of these alloys to show the variation upon alloying Fe with the other neighbouring 3d
transition metals using arguments based on charge transfer, exchange splitting and
hybridization effects.
