Abstract

A consistent picture of the magnetic properties and electronic structure of the superconducting itinerant ferromagnet URhGe is obtained with the local spin-density approximation (LSDA). The LSDA calculations reproduce both the magnitude of the observed moment, composed of strongly opposing spin and orbital parts, and the magnetocrystalline anisotropy. It is shown that the canted magnetic structure of URhGe can originate from the noncollinear arrangement of U-atom orbital magnetic moments, while the spin magnetic moments are ferromagnetically ordered.
