Abstract
Rigorous conditions for the metamagnetic transitions between the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic states and between the weak ferromagnetic and normal ferromagnetic states are derived. The expressions for the conditions and the critical field are derived in the simple model for an itinerant electron system and for a combined system of localized magnetic moments and itinerant electrons. The results are applied to TiBe2, YCo2, Pd, compounds of rare earth metals and transition metals, Co(S, Se)2, etc. It is explained that TiBe2 and perhaps YCo2 and Pd will not show the metamagnetic transition in consistent with the experimental results
