Correlated molecular field theory of amorphous ferromagnets and the Gibbs free energy

Creators

Description

The correlated molecular field theory is able to reproduce the characteristic features of the paramagnetic zero-field susceptibility to χ0(T) of random exchange ferromagnets, e.g., amorphous ferromagnetic alloys. Nevertheless, it has been criticized in the literature based on arguments for the Gibbs free energy. It is shown that these objections are not conclusive
