Electronic and thermoelectric properties of FeRh Pd-doped alloys: Ab initio study

•Fe50Rh50-xPdx (x = 1.9, 3.7, 5.6, 6.3, 7.4, 9.3, 12.5, 18.8, 25.0) has been theoretically studied.•Two AFM configurations (cubic and tetragonal) have been evaluated.•Transition AFM to FM is accompanied by increase in volume and decrease in resistivity.•The calculated transition temperature decreases as the Pd content increases.•Total magnetization of the cell/at tends to decrease as x increases.
