Abstract
Effects of atomic environment on distribution of magnetic moments in ferromagnetic transition‐metal alloys are discussed on the basis of an itinerant‐electron theory in the Hartree‐Fock approximation. The significance of the relation between the atom in question and its environment is demonstrated with emphasis on the two types of free energy curve as a function of the atomic magnetic moment. A method for the self‐consistent calculation of magnetic moment distributions in concentrated alloys is presented. Some results of the method applied to Fe‐V and Fe‐Co alloys are shown to be in good agreement with experimental measurements.
