Paramagnetic form factors of HCP transition metals

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5387058
Elastic neutron scattering experiments have provided accurate information about the Fourier transform of the total induced magnetizaion density which consists of orbital and spin contributions. Traditionally, one analyzes the orbital part by using the atomic model. Recently we have developed a numerical technique to compute accurately the orbital moment form factor of the itinerant electrons in cubic transition metals. We have now extended the calculation to hcp metals Sc, Y, Lu, and Zr. The calculated orbital contributions deviate from atomic orbital form factors. There is reasonable overall agreement between theory and experiments.
