Local and non-local spin susceptibilities of transition metals

Abstract
The local and non-local spin susceptibilities with regard to lattice sites and orbitals, chi nL,n'L', are calculated for transition metals using the muffin-tin potential model. Their general properties are discussed. It is found that chi nL,n'L' provides an insight from the real space point of view into the qualitative aspect of the magnetism of transition metals. A discussion is also given of an induced magnetic moment at an impurity site in a host metal with a large exchange enhancement.
