Magneto-crystalline anisotropies, K u , and anisotropic magnetic fields, H a , of two rare-earth (RE) magnets, i.e. CeFe12, and PrFe12, are theoretically calculated by using the crystal field (CF) method based on the first principles density functional theory (DFT) and the non-collinear DFT+U (NCDFT+U) method. The CF method reproduces an experimental H a of PrFe12 but it failed to reproduce the H a of CeFe12, providing H a with a wrong sign. The NCDFT+U method correctly reproduces experimental H a of CeFe12 and PrFe12, however the optimization of effective Hubbard on-site interaction parameters, U eff , of the 4f electrons of the magnets is indispensable for the accurate calculation of H a . We have found that the CF method is valid in so far as it is used for the study of K u of RE magnets, which have RE atoms heavier than Pr atom. We expect that the NCDFT+U method would become a quantitative K u calculation method of any RE magnets if the U eff calculation method of 4f electrons of RE magnets is established.

稀土磁体磁晶各向异性的第一性原理计算

两种稀土 (RE) 磁体,即 CeFe 12和 PrFe 12 的磁晶各向异性K u和各向异性磁场H a是通过使用基于第一个的晶体场 (CF) 方法理论上计算的原理密度泛函理论 (DFT) 和非共线 DFT+U (NCDFT+U) 方法。CF 方法再现了PrFe 12的实验H a但它未能再现CeFe 12H a,从而为H a提供了错误的符号。NCDFT+U 方法正确再现了实验H a CeFe 12和 PrFe 12,然而,磁铁4 f电子的有效哈伯德现场相互作用参数U eff的优化对于H a的准确计算是必不可少。我们发现 CF 方法是有效的,因为它用于研究RE 磁体的K u,RE 原子比 Pr 原子重。我们预计,如果建立了稀土磁体的 4 f 个电子的U eff计算方法,NCDFT+U 方法将成为任何稀土磁体的定量K u计算方法。
