Abstract

The self-consistent Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker coherent potential approximation (KKR-CPA) method is applied to determine the changes in the Cr electronic structure due to addition of up to 30% Ru. The results provide an interpretation of the coexisting antiferromagnetism and superconductivity in terms of specific pieces of Fermi surface. The strong nesting which occurs for the Cr Fermi surface survives the addition of at least 20% Ru, in agreement with the observed persistence of antiferromagnetism into this region.
