Phys. Rev. B 40, 9061–9069 (1989)Metallic ferromagnetism in a single-band model. II. Finite-temperature magnetic propertiesReceived 20 June 1989; published in the issue dated 1 November 1989 A recently proposed band model to describe metallic ferromagnetism is studied at finite temperatures within the mean-field approximation. We discuss in particular the behavior of critical temperature, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility above Tc, and magnetization below Tc assuming a constant density of states. The model overcomes in a simple way the major difficulties of Stoner theory and yields properties that are consistent with a variety of observations in ferromagnetic metals and alloys. © 1989 The American Physical Society URL:
