A simple model for magnetism in itinerant electron systems
نویسنده
چکیده
A new lattice model of interacting electrons is presented. It can be viewed as a classical Hubbard model in which the energy associated to electron itinerance is proportional to the total number of possible electron jumps. Symmetry properties of the Hubbard model are preserved. In the half-filled band with strong interaction the model becomes the Ising model. The main features of the magnetic behavior of the model in the one-dimensional and mean-field cases are studied.

A thermodynamic framework for a system with itinerant-electron magnetism
Thermodynamic fluctuation among many electronic states in systems with ‘itinerant-electron’ magnetism is addressed with a first-principles formulation of the Helmholtz energy. The Ce γ –α phase transition is used as an illustrative case. The kB ln(2J + 1) form for the magnetic entropy that is commonly found in the literature is replaced with an expression that is derived from configurational fl...
متن کاملStructural order parameter and itinerant electron magnetism in Cd2Re2O7
We describe the low temperature behaviour of the magnetic susceptibility of Cd2Re2O7 in terms of a Landau theory of structural phase transitions. We calculate the zero temperature Pauli susceptibility using a tight-binding approach to reveal the mechanism of coupling between the structural order parameter and itinerant magnetism.
متن کاملAn itinerant antiferromagnetic metal without magnetic constituents
The origin of magnetism in metals has been traditionally discussed in two diametrically opposite limits: itinerant and local moments. Surprisingly, there are very few known examples of materials that are close to the itinerant limit, and their properties are not universally understood. In the case of the two such examples discovered several decades ago, the itinerant ferromagnets ZrZn2 and Sc3I...
متن کاملMagnetic crossover in the one-dimensional Hubbard model in the presence of a magnetic field
The ground-state (GS) properties of the one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard model at half-filling are examined in the presence of a magnetic field using the generalized mean-field (GMF) approach, which includes the spin-density and the electron–hole correlations on an equal footing. The GMF formalism provides insight into both the metal–insulator transition and the transition from itinerant to localiz...
متن کاملItinerant Magnetism in Metallic CuFe2Ge2
Theoretical calculations are performed to understand the electronic structure and magnetic properties of CuFe2Ge2. The band structure reveals large electron density N(EF) at the Fermi level suggesting a strong itinerant character of magnetism. The Fermi surface is dominated by two dimensional sheet like structures, with potentially strong nesting between them. The magnetic ground state appears ...
