On the large magnetic anisotropy of Fe2P
Abstract
We present an investigation on the large magnetic anisotropy of Fe2P, based on Ab Initio density-functional theory calculations, with a full potential linear muffin-tin orbital (FP-LMTO) basis. We obtain an uniaxial magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) of 664 μ eV/f.u., which is in decent agreement with experimental observations. Based on a band structure analysis the microscopical origin of the large magnetic anisotropy is explained. We also show that by straining the crystal structure, the MAE can be enhanced further.
