Abstract
We describe a new method for calculating the orbital contribution to the susceptibility and neutron magnetic form factor of paramagnetic transition metals. The method has been developed by us over the past four years, and the computational details and results will be published elsewhere. In this paper we discuss the theoretical issues, which include a justification of the basic approximation and the estimate of errors. It is shown that it gives reliable results for the size of the susceptibility and the overall shape of the form factor, but is probably not sufficiently accurate to account for the anisotropy in the orbital moment distribution.
