Conditions for the spin-spiral state in itinerant magnets

Abstract

The spin-spiral (SS) type of magnetization is studied with the Hubbard model. Consideration of noncollinearity of the magnetic moments results in a phase diagram which consists of regions of the SS and paramagnetic states depending on the number of electrons and the parameter U/t (U is the Hubbard repulsion, and t is an overlap integral). A possibility of stabilization of the SS state with three nonzero components of magnetic moment is considered.
