The exchange interactions have been studied from a first-principles density functional calculation in FePt and CoPt with the tetragonal L10-type structure. For FePt, the effective exchange parameters of Fe at the sites 1a and 1c, JFe1a and JFe1c, have the same negative value (−1.40 mRy) while that between Fe (1a) and Fe (1c), JFe1a-1c, have a large positive value (8.29 mRy) and JFe-Pt also has a positive value (1.20 mRy). Similarly, for CoPt, the exchange parameters are JCo1a = JCo1c = −0.86 mRy, JCo1a-1c = 8.47 mRy and JCo-Pt = 1.30 mRy. The estimated mean fields TC are about 802 K and 870 K for FePt and CoPt, respectively, in good agreement with the experiments. TC shows peak value at c/a = 1 in FePt and CoPt, respectively, resulting from the interplay between negative and positive exchange interactions.
