abstract = "In this paper, we report on a theoretical study of magnetic couplings in Fe1-xMx disordered bulk alloys and in Fe/M (001) superlattices (with M = V, Nb, Ta and Mo). The calculations were carried out using the charge and spin self-consistent Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method combined with coherent-potential-approximation (KKR-CPA). For Fe 1-xVx, site-decomposed magnetic moments were calculated according to two different models of completely and semi disordered alloys. For all the considered transition metals M, an antiferromagnetic (AF) coupling between the Fe and the M magnetic moments was determined. For small concentrations x (d-impurity in bcc Fe metal), the induced magnetic moment on the M atom is of -1.37μB for V and of about -0.6μB for M = Nb, Ta and Mo. The Fe magnetic moment was found to be 2.31μ B, equal to that of pure bcc metal. When x increases up to 0.28, the Fe magnetic moment does not change noticeably, while the induced M magnetic moment decreases more dramatically, e.g. for M = V and Mo. Then, Fe 5/M1 and Fe4/M2 multilayered systems were considered. In all cases, an AF coupling between the Fe and M layers was derived, whose strength decreases from V to Mo atoms. The impact of the interface interdiffusion on the induced M and reduced Fe magnetic moments in Fe5/M1 and Fe4/M2 was also studied. The atom interdiffusion leads to an increase in the total and average iron magnetic moments, while the induced magnetic moment increases for M = V and remains constant for the other atoms.",
