Calculations of Orbital Paramagnetic Susceptibility for Vanadium, Chromium and Iron

抄録

The orbital paramagnetic susceptibilities for vanadium, chromium, and both paramagnetic ferromagnetic irons are calculated by means of the Kubo and Obata formula. Band structures and wave functions which were obtained self-consistently by a combined method of the modified tight-binding and orthogonalized-plane-wave methods are used. The temperature variation of the orbital paramagnetic susceptibility and the high-field susceptibility are also calculated and the comparisons with experiments are discussed for vanadium and ferromagnetic iron.
