Abstract
A scheme for making ab initio calculations of the dynamic paramagnetic spin susceptibilities of solids at finite temperatures is described. It is based on time-dependent density functional theory and employs an electronic multiple scattering formalism. Incommensurate and commensurate antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations in paramagnetic Cr and compositionally disordered ${\mathrm{Cr}}_{95}{\mathrm{V}}_{5}$ and ${\mathrm{Cr}}_{95}{\mathrm{Re}}_{5}$ alloys are studied together with the connection with the nesting of their Fermi surfaces. We find that the spin fluctuations can be described rather simply in terms of an overdamped oscillator model. Good agreement with inelastic neutron scattering data is obtained.
