Magnetic properties of FeAl — •Anna Galler1, Ciro Taranto1, Markus Wallerberger1, Merzuk Kaltak2, Giorgio Sangiovanni3, Alessandro Toschi1, Georg Kresse2, and Karsten Held11Institut für Festkörperphysik, TU Wien — 2Department of Computational Materials Physics, Universität Wien — 3Institut für Theoretische Physik und Astrophysik, Universität Würzburg

While the intermetallic FeAl is found to be paramagnetic in experiment, standard band-theory predicts the material to be ferromagnetic. We show that this discrepancy can be overcome by a better treatment of electronic correlations within LDA+DMFT (local density approximation combined with dynamical mean field theory). In fact, our results show no magnetization and a paramagnetic Pauli-like susceptibility for the whole range of temperature investigated. The origin for this behavior are short-time local magnetic moments that fluctuate in time.

We performed bandstructure calculations and projected the low energy part of the Hamiltonian onto a set of 9 maximally localized Wannier orbitals. The interaction parameters for our d+p model were computed within cRPA and for the numerical solution of the impurity problem we used a continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo algorithm in its hybridization expansion.
