The magnetostriction effect corresponds to the change in lattice dimension parallel to the applied magnetic field, which is important for applications in flexible spintronics and sensors. Recent experiments reported a large and negative magnetostriction of Fe₄N. Interestingly, it was also found that the replacement of Fe by Co resulted in a sign change of magnetostriction from negative to positive value. A strong correlation between magnetostriction and damping constant was also found. Therefore, in this study, we focus on the theoretical explanation of the relationship between magnetostriction and damping in Fe_4xCo_4-4xN. We confirm the good agreement of magnetostriction and damping trends found in experiments and theoretical study. Large minority-spin density of states (DOS) around the Fermi level was found to play an important role in the magnetostriction and damping relation.
