Abstract
Band structure calculations of FeGa1-xAlx have been performed, to further i
nvestigate the stability of ferromagnetism in FeAl. The Stoner parameter in
creases by about 20% at the FeGa end. This is also confirmed by our spin-po
larized calculations. We conclude that Ga substitution for Al is likely to
stabilize the elusive (or illusive) ferromagnetic state in FeAl. (C) 2001 A
