13. To avoid confusion, even though F ↑ > F ↓ for ferromagnetic states, the total kinetic-exchange Fermi energies are, of course, the same and equal the chemical potential.
14. In fact, the paramagnetic solution always exists. In the ferromagnetic region, however, the paramagnetic solution is unstable with respect to fluctuations in s0 (the Stoner criterion): | ∂ 2 EKX /∂ s02 | s0 =0 <0.

In the estimations, the position of the 3d band edge, 3d, is taken to be at the energy of the X5 k -point, X5: μP (ρNi,Cu) - 3d ≈-0.21 eV and 1.57 eV, respectively; the exchange splitting in Ni is: X5 ↓ - X5 ↑ ≈0.82 eV.
