Pressure effect on the order-disorder transformation in L1$_0$ FeNi

The ordered phase of the FeNi system is known to have promising magnetic properties as a rare-earth-free permanent magnet. Understanding the parameter space that controls the order-disorder transformation is important to find growth conditions that stabilize the $L1_0$ phase. Magnetic properties and chemical order-disorder transformation of FeNi are investigated as a function of lattice expansion using first-principles theory. Thermodynamic and magnetic calculations are performed using long-range order parameters, which is used to find the ordering temperature. Negative pressure promotes ordering and thus synthetic routes involving an increase in volume is expected to expand the stability field of the $L1_0$ phase.
