The importance of including induced magnetic moments when calculating the Curie temperature of transition metal systems is shown for Pd-rich Fe-Pd alloys and Co-Pt alloys. For this binary alloys the components exhibit a different type of magnetism, i.e. spontaneous and induced. The finite temperature magnetic properties of these alloys are described using a generalised Heisenberg Hamiltonian that allows to account for the longitudinal fluctuation of induced moments of the Pd and Pt atoms. In Fe-Pd alloys with small Fe concentration the role of effective Fe-Fe interaction mediated by the induced Pd moments is crucial for the creation of ferromagnetic (FM) order. The Curie temperature Tc obtained for these alloys are in good agreement with experiment for the Fe concentration up to 15%. For the Co-Pt alloys the improvement of the Tc values with inclusion of the induced moments on Pt atoms is shown for the whole considered concentration range. The FM order in the ordered CoPt3 alloy that is observed experimentally is only possible due to the FM coupling to induced Pt moments while Co-Co coupling is primarily anti-ferromagnetic.
