Spin asymmetry originating from densities of states: Criterion for ferromagnetism, structures and magnetic properties of 3d metals from crystal field based DOSs

Ferromagnetism in 3d metals is re-examined in a simple band model. It is shown that the molecular field model cannot account for the low values of coercive field in ferromagnetic pure metals, and that the standard Stoner theory of band ferromagnetism incorrectly evaluates the total electronic energy...
