N. Papanikolaou et al., AB-INITIO STUDY OF STRUCTURAL DISTORTION AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES OF METALLIC DILUTE ALLOYS, Computational materials science, 8(1-2), 1997, pp. 131-135
We report a systematic study of lattice relaxation effects around 3d a
nd 4sp impurities in aluminum, using the full-potential Korringa-Kohn-
Rostoker Green function method, Our results for the magnetic propertie
s of the impurities seem to resolve the discrepancy between experiment
and previous calculations. In addition, the calculated atomic displac
ements and total volume changes are in good agreement with the corresp
onding experimental data.
