Paramagnetic orbital susceptibilities of transition metals

Authors:

Abstract
The results of numerical calculations of the paramagnetic contribution, χ, to the magnetic susceptibility associated with the orbital motion of electrons in unhybridized tightly bound d‐bands are presented. These results are used to determine approximately the dependence of χ on the number of electrons in the band and on the d‐band width, and to estimate χ. for a number of transition metals. The results obtained are in good agreement with estimates obtained from experimental data. The effect of conduction band‐d‐band hybridization on χ is also considered.
