J. Kapoor et al., MAGNETIC-BEHAVIOR OF FE IMPURITIES IN TC AND RE, AND ITS RELEVANCE TOTHE GENERAL PROBLEM OF THE MAGNETISM OF FE IN D-BAND METAL HOSTS, Physical review letters, 77(13), 1996, pp. 2806-2809
We have observed implanted Fe ions to be nonmagnetic in the group VIIb
hosts Tc and Re, by applying the in-beam perturbed angular gamma-ray
distribution method. This result is in agreement with local spin densi
ty calculations for Fe in Tc using both supercell and single impurity
approaches. The results are of key importance for a reasonable and con
sistent understanding of the basic, general features of local magnetic
moment formation on Fe ions in transition metal hosts.
