Abstract
Fluctuating mean-field theories of itinerant magnetism are extensions of Stoner theory which give a better account of temperature dependencies. They include the effects of spin-wave excitations, and allow for substantial magnetic behavior in the paramagnetic state. I discuss these theories and how well they are supported by thermodynamic data, and by recent neutron scattering and photoemission experiments, particularly in the cases of iron and nickel.Keywords
