Abstract

The size of the magnetic moment of itinerant electron ferromagnets depends, among other things, on the on-site Coulomb repulsion and the overlap of electronic wavefunctions between neighbouring atoms. Therefore a change of the electronic wavefunction overlap, arising from thermal vibrations of the atoms, will change the conditions for the formation of the magnetic moments. Neutron scattering is able to probe these changes by dynamic magnetic form factor measurements. In these experiments the magnetic signal is measured on a phonon. Such measurements yield information on the behaviour of the magnetic moment and its stability on a distorted lattice.
