Itinerant Antiferromagnetism in the Fe-Pnictides

ORAL

Abstract

We propose a model for the itinerant antiferromagnetism in the Fe-pnictides and, as a test for it, calculate the magnetic phase diagram. The model includes kinetic energy for the five orbitals of Fe and local Hund's rule and repulsion. We also hope to derive a free energy for the model so as to calculate the fluctuation spectra and explain the remarkable universal temperature dependence of the susceptibility above T$_N$.
