Abstract: | The temperature dependent exchange stiffnessD, defined for long wavelength spin waves by=Dq2, is calculated for very weak itinerant ferromagnets. It is found that for a general single band of d-electrons,D reduces to a very simple form givingD(T)=D(0)/0 in the limit00. The stability condition for spin waves at finite temperatures is thenD(0) > 0 and/0 > 0, where is the relative occupation ± spin sub-bands and0 its value at 0°K.The authors are grateful to E. P. Wohlfarth for helpful discussions. |
