Abstract
A Landau-Ginzburg theory for macroscopically inhomogeneous ferromagnetic systems involving only one magnetic species is developed in terms of the local densities of the magnetic atoms. For a nearly homogeneous system the shifts of the Curie temperatures due to the inhomogeneities are discussed. The paramagnetic susceptibility and the spontaneous magnetisation are also considered.Keywords
