Abstract

The influence of the electron-phonon interaction of the paramagnetic susceptibilities for transition metals is discussed. While the electronic specific heat is influenced by this interaction, the Pauli spin paramagnetic susceptibility and the orbital paramagnetic susceptibility are not influenced. In the case where the spin-orbit interaction exists, however, the spin paramagnetic susceptibility χ s , the orbital paramagnetic susceptibility χ orb and the mixed contribution due to the spin and orbital angular momentums χ so are influenced. In f. c. c. 4 d and 5 d and h. c. p. 5 d transition metals the modifications of χ s , χ orb and χ so due to the electron-phonon interaction are conceivable, but in other transition metals these modifications are very small. Finally, some discussions of this effect on the diamagnetic susceptibilities are given.
