T. Kizaki et al., A NEW THEORY OF THE INVAR BEHAVIOR CONSIDERING THE ROLE OF PHONON, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 144, 1995, pp. 245-246
By treating the roles of electrons and phonons on the same footing, we
numerically calculate thermal expansion coefficient of an itinerant e
lectron ferromagnet for both T < T-c and T > T-c with a simple model o
f the electronic density of states, and find thermal phonons to play a
crucial role in the Invar behavior.
