Theoretical Study of Temperature Dependence of Spin Susceptibility in Anisotropic Itinerant Ferromagnets

Abstract

We developed a framework for directly calculating the spin susceptibility of anisotropic itinerant ferromagnets in the full temperature range within the coherent potential approximation in the disordered local moment picture. As a test of our formulation, we demonstrate the computation for the temperature ($T$) dependence of the spin susceptibility for Rashba-type ferromagnets with the Curie temperature $T_\mathrm{C}$. In a certain parameter, we found that the inverse transverse susceptibility $1/\chi_\perp\simeq\mathrm{const.}$ for $T<T_\mathrm{C}$ and $1/\chi_\perp\propto T-T_\mathrm{C}$ for $T>T_\mathrm{C}$, which reflects characteristics of itinerant ferromagnets including a spin-orbit interaction.
