MAGNETIC ANISOTROPY IN Fe, Co AND Ni

G. Daalderop , P. Kelly , M. Schuurmans , H. Jansen

Magnetic anisotropy energies are calculated ab initio for bcc Fe, fcc Ni and hcp Co within the local spin density approximation using the LMTO method. Although the calculated energies are in all cases of the correct order of magnitude, only in cobalt is the easy axis found to be in agreement with experiment.
