04 Sep 1985TL;DR: In this paper, a general theory of spin fluctuations and thermodynamical properties of itinerant electron magnets is developed, interpolating between the weakly and strongly ferromagnetic limits, and a unified expression is given for the Curie temperature and the physical meaning of the curie-Weiss magnetic susceptibility is discussed.
Abstract: A general theory of spin fluctuations and thermodynamical properties of itinerant electron magnets is developed, interpolating between the weakly and strongly ferromagnetic limits. A unified expression is given for the Curie temperature and the physical meaning of the Curie-Weiss magnetic susceptibility is discussed. As new phenomena derived from this theory the temperature-induced local magnetic moments as observed in CoS2, CoSe2, etc. and peculiar magnetic and thermal properties of nearly ferromagnetic semiconductors such as FeSi are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, a criterion for determining the onset of ferromagnetism in a material as its temperature is lowered from a region in which the linearity of its magnetic moment versus field isotherm gives an indication of paramagnetisms.
Abstract: A criterion is proposed for determining the onset of ferromagnetism in a material as its temperature is lowered from a region in which the linearity of its magnetic moment versus field isotherm gives an indication of paramagnetism. Within the limits of validity of a molecular field treatment, the Curie temperature is shown to be in general indicated by the third power of the magnetization being proportional to the internal magnetic field. The method has been employed to redetermine the Curie point of nickel from the data of Weiss and Forrer, of ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{3}$${\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ from the data of Smith and of some alloys from the data of Kaufmann and his collaborators and the author.

TL;DR: Analytical expressions for the Curie temperature and the magnetization in the limit of low carrier density are derived, obtaining excellent quantitative agreement with Monte Carlo simulation results and good qualitative agreement with experimental results.
Abstract: We theoretically study the development of spontaneous magnetization in diluted magnetic semiconductors as arising from a percolation of bound magnetic polarons. Within the framework of a generalized percolation theory we derive analytic expressions for the Curie temperature and the magnetization in the limit of low carrier density, obtaining excellent quantitative agreement with Monte Carlo simulation results and good qualitative agreement with experimental results.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new magnetic material which has the highest saturation magnetization at room temperature, 2050 G, among those of all the magnetic materials was attributed to Fe16N2, which has a bct structure, and the magnetic moment associated with Fe atoms of Fe 16N2 was deduced to be 3.0 μB.
Abstract: The change of the saturation magnetization of Fe films with the pressure of nitrogen during deposition ranging from 2 × 10−5 to 7 × 10−3 Torr has been investigated systematically. We found a new magnetic material which has the highest saturation magnetization at room temperature, 2050 G, among those of all the magnetic materials. This was attributed to Fe16N2, which has a bct structure, and the magnetic moment associated with Fe atoms of Fe16N2 was deduced to be 3.0 μB.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple concept was used for a systematic search for materials with high spin polarization, based on two semi-empirical models: the Slater-Pauling rule was used to estimate the magnetic moment and the second model was found particularly for Heusler compounds when comparing their magnetic properties.
Abstract: In this work a simple concept was used for a systematic search for materials with high spin polarization It is based on two semiempirical models First, the Slater-Pauling rule was used for estimation of the magnetic moment This model is well supported by electronic structure calculations The second model was found particularly for ${\mathrm{Co}}_{2}$ based Heusler compounds when comparing their magnetic properties It turned out that these compounds exhibit seemingly a linear dependence of the Curie temperature as function of the magnetic moment Stimulated by these models, ${\mathrm{Co}}_{2}\mathrm{FeSi}$ was revisited The compound was investigated in detail concerning its geometrical and magnetic structure by means of x-ray diffraction, x-ray absorption, and M\"ossbauer spectroscopies as well as high and low temperature magnetometry The measurements revealed that it is, currently, the material with the highest magnetic moment $(6{\ensuremath{\mu}}_{B})$ and Curie temperature (1100 K) in the classes of Heusler compounds as well as half-metallic ferromagnets The experimental findings are supported by detailed electronic structure calculations
