Abstract
We describe a first-principles theory for compositional and magnetic correlations in alloys and compare the results of the theory with recent diffuse, unpolarized, neutron-scattering measurements on a single crystal of ferromagnetic Fe0.865V0.135. The nuclear cross section is described very well by the theory and we are able to connect the q-dependent structure to the underlying electronic structure of the alloy. The magnetocompositional and magnetic correlations also may be obtained for comparison to polarized measurements.
