Abstract

We investigated the itinerant metamagnetic phase transition in metals within the Hubbard model for a face-centered cubic lattice. The ratio of the transfer integral between the nearest and next-to-nearest neighbors is chosen to provide strong van Hove singularity in the density of states. The magnetic field dependencies of magnetization in the transition region are obtained, and the influence of model parameters on the character of the phenomenon is investigated.

The dotted line indicates the curve corresponding to the value of 𝑛, at which the Stoner criterion (14) is satisfied. To estimate the magnitude of the magnetic field, the band width 𝑊 = 18𝑡 was chosen equal to 5 eV.
