Hi,<br><br>The difference between FM and AFM energies gives 2J_0, I think. It's easy to check for nearest neighbors interactions only.<br>In this case for Fe your result is quite reasonable. Fe is itinerant ferromagnetic but with localized magnetic moments and<br>
Heisenberg model works quite good. You can look for exchange parameters calculated through linear response expression.<br>There is a lot of publication on this topic. For Fe exchange potentials looks like: large first neighbors interactions and the oscillations.<br>
So the rest of neighbors almost compensate each other. <br>Ni is a different story. I do not know if anybody can calculate Curie temperature in Ni correctly. It's significantly smaller and if I'm right and <br>delta E = 2 J_0 result for Ni is even smaller in your calculations in agreement with other results.<br>

Hi<br><br>I am calculating the Curie Temperature for Iron. The experimental value for this is 1043 K. I am getting the value as 2398.97 K. I am using the following way to calculate.<br>Find out the ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic energy of Fe. The difference between these two gives the value of J_0. Then,<br>
T_c = [2/3] [J_0/K_B]<br><br>Please suggest me what is wrong? Why am I getting such a high value. On the other hand I am getting very low value for Ni, whose experimental Curie temperature is 627K and I am getting 315K. <br>
Thanking you in advance,<br>regards<br>Padmaja Patnaik<br>
