Abstract We investigate the influence of electron correlations on the temperature-dependence of the electronic structure of ferromagnetic bcc iron by use of a manybody evaluation of a generalized model of magnetism. The single-particle part of the model-Hamiltonian is taken from an LDA band structure calculation. The manybody interactions are described by only two parameters, an intraband Coulomb interactionU and an interband exchangeJ. WithU=1.8 eV andJ=0.2 eV the self-consistent model solution yields aT=0 moment of about 2.04 µB and a Curie-temperature of 1044K. Details of the magnetic behaviour of Fe can be traced back to a striking temperature variation of the quasiparticle density of states. A novel explanation for the experimentally-observed non-collapsing exchange splitting is demonstrated in terms of the temperature-dependent spectral density for wave-vectors near the Γ-point. Typical differences in the magnetic behaviour of Fe and Ni are worked out.
