56 Chapter 3 Energy Magnetic Excitation Spectrum Spin Waves Stoner Continuum Momentum Transfer Figure 3-8 Energy spectrum of magnetic excitations. Spin wave excitations have a one-to-one dispersion relation while excitations in the Stoner continuum (shaded region) do not. The intensity of excitations in the Stoner continuum is strongest where the spin waves meet the continuum. The theory predicts that spin waves exist only in a small region at the origin of (ω,k) space with dispersion relation ω = k 2 D, where D is the spin wave stiffness. The strongest intensity of the dynamical susceptibility is in the region where the spin wave excitations meet the Stoner continuum shown in Figure 3-8. In the low temperature limit a T 3/2 law is predicted i n the magnetization. However, calculations for Ni 3 Al [86] show that the magnetization is best approximated by a T 2 dependence over a broad temperature range below T C . It has been assumed that in the highly correlated limit, i.e. metallic ferromagnets with a large saturation moment, the magnetization will obey the spin wave T 3/2 law [85], presumably because of strong evidence for the existence of spin waves in metallic ferromagnets.
Electronic and Magnetic Measurements 57 The major advancement of the SCR theory is the development of a new mechanism for the Curie-Weiss magnetic susceptibility applicable to itinerant electron ferromagnets. The paramagnetic Curie-Weiss susceptibility arises essentially from the opposition of the magnetic energy to order the spins and the thermal energy to disorder them. The magnetization is then proportional to µ B H/k B T, giving the inverse susceptibility H/M linear in T. In the case of the weak itinerant electron ferromagnets there are no localized spins above T C so the susceptibility cannot arise from this mechanism. Instead, the changing mean-square local amplitude of the spin fluctuation provides the Curie-Weiss susceptibility. The SCR expression for the inverse magnetic susceptibility contains a 2 contribution from the mean-square local amplitude of the spin fluctuation SL [84] which can be derived from the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. 2 Calculations have shown that SL increases almost linearly with temperature above T C giving rise to the Curie-Weiss law. This is in contrast with the local 2 moment mechanism where SL is a constant. The Curie constant of the new mechanism is related to the band structure around the Fermi surface and is independent of the saturation moment at T = 0. This Curie-Weiss law should hold even for paramagnetic metals when they are very close to the ferromagnetic instability, in contrast to that predicted by paramagnon theories [84]. 2 The temperature variation of SL (T), which determines the new Curie- Weiss mechanism is strongest when the stiffness of the longitudinal spin fluctuations is small. When the longitudinal stiffness is small, a relatively 2 rapid increase in SL (T) with inverse temperature is expected above TC and it should saturate at a certain value determined by the band structure. After saturation the spin fluctuations behave like local moments with a certain degree of short range order, since the local amplitude of the spin density is almost fixed. This phenomenon is called temperature-induced local
