This study investigates the electronic correlation effects on the magnetic properties of tetragonally distorted chemically ordered FeCo alloys. The predicted Curie temperature decreases with the increase of lattice parameter ratio c/a. Well-localized magnetic moments are found on Fe sites, while magnetism on Co sites is more itinerant with shorter lifetime of local magnetic moments. The electronic states at Fe sites exhibit a nonquasiparticle form of self-energies, while the ones for Co sites have a Fermi-liquid-like shape.
We consider electronic correlation effects and their impact on magnetic properties of tetragonally distorted chemically ordered FeCo alloys (L1(0) structure) being a promising candidate for rare-earth-free permanent magnets. We employ a state-of-the-art method combining density functional and dynamical mean-field theory. According to our results, the predicted Curie temperature reduces with increase of lattice parameter ratio c/a and reaches nearly 850 K at c/a = 1.22. For all considered c/a from 1 to root 2, we find well-localized magnetic moments on Fe sites, which are formed due to strong correlations originating from Hund's coupling. At the same time, magnetism of Co sites is more itinerant with a much less lifetime of local magnetic moments. However, these short-lived local moments are also formed due to Hund's exchange. Electronic states at Fe sites are characterized by a nonquasiparticle form of self-energies, while the ones for Co sites are found to have a Fermi-liquid-like shape with quasiparticle mass enhancement factor m*/m similar to 1.4, corresponding to moderately correlated metal. The strong electron correlations on Fe sites leading to Hund's metal behavior can be explained by peculiarities of the density of states, which has pronounced peaks near the Fermi level, while weaker many-body effects on Co sites can be caused by stronger deviation from half-filling of their 3d states. The obtained momentum dependence of magnetic susceptibility suggests that the ferromagnetic ordering is the most favorable one except for the near vicinity of the fcc structure and the magnetic exchange is expected to be of RKKY type.
