Abstract
The uniform unenhanced orbital and spin-orbit susceptibilities in Nb and W are evaluated by using wavefunctions and energy values obtained from self-consistent relativistic APW band calculations in the relativistic local-density approximation. From the calculated value of the enhanced spin susceptibility the total susceptibility is estimated for Nb. The estimated value is very similar to the observed values. The dependence on the electron per atom ratio of the uniform unenhanced orbital and spin-orbit susceptibilities is calculated in the rigid band assumption and the results are compared with each other. The corresponding results obtained previously for V are also shown for comparison. Energy curves and density of states curves for V, Nb and W are presented.
