On The Theory of Ferro-Magnetism Of Transition Metals At Finite Temperatures

  • Chapter
The Electronic Structure of Complex Systems

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 113))

Abstract

The nature and origin of magnetic order in metals is one of the most ellusive problems in solid state physics. Fifty years after the pioneering work of. Bloch (1929), Mott (1935), Stoner (1936) and Slater (1936) it is still not as well understood as the apparently more esoteric phenomenon of superconductivity (Parks 1969). While this subject has never lacked devotees at the moment we are witnessing a particularly active period due to the fact that recent progress seems to have brought the possibility of a fairly complete microscopic quantitative theory within sight. The purpose of these lectures is to sketch the outlines of the emerging picture and the prospects for doing realistic first principles calculation for metallic magnets at finite temperatures.
