Self‐Consistent Electronic Structure Of Disordered Fe0.65ni0.35, Duane D. Johnson, F. J. Pinski, G. M. Stocks

Duane D. Johnson

We present the results of the first a b i n i t i o calculation of the electronic structure of the disordered alloy Fe0.65Ni0.35. The calculation is based on the multiple‐scattering coherent‐potential approach (KKR‐CPA) and is fully self‐consistent and spin polarized. Magnetic effects are included within local‐spin‐density functional theory using the exchange‐correlation function of Vosko–Wilk–Nusair. The most striking feature of the calculation is that electrons of different spins experience different degrees of disorder. The minority spin electrons see a very large disorder, whereas the majority spin electrons see little disorder. Consequently, the minority spin density of states is smooth …

Neutrinoless double beta decay is a hypothesized lepton-number-violating process in which two neutrons decay to two protons, producing two electrons but no electron antineutrinos. The LEGEND collaboration will search for this decay in 76Ge. To improve the argon active veto for LEGEND-1000, xenon doped argon was explored as an alternative active volume. Simulations using argon doped with 10 ppm xenon and pure liquid argon were used to predict the light yield from cosmic muons in a 100 liter cryogenic vessel. The simulations predicted that xenon doping would yield 1.83+/-0.02 more light, while an increase of 1.81+/-0.05 was measured. From …
