The OPC substantially increases the Fe orbital moments in the alloy, thereby reducing the discrepancy between the measured and theoretical orbital moments. For all the lattice parameters considered, the [001] direction is found to be the easy axis, thus showing no spin-reorientation transition as suggested recently. The calculated MAE agrees with experiments. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
