Abstract
Previous measurements in paramagnetic iron using polarized neutrons with polarization analysis revealed strong forward magnetic scattering. By contrast, the scattering at large wavevectors, was observed to be very weak. We report on additional measurements near the zone boundary, which extend to energy transfers of about 2 Tc (∼ 200 meV). A value of 1.7 μ 2B is obtained, and the resulting integrated Fe moment is 1.55 μB. These results confirm that, in 3d metals, correlations which are inherent to the itinerant nature of the 3d electrons occurKeywords
