✦ Synopsis

The pressure effect on the magnetic susceptibility of electrons in metals of the sp-, d-and f-type is briefly discussed. The experimentally studied dependences of band spectrum and electron interaction parameters on the atomic volume are presented. The Hubbard model is found to be much better than the local density-functional approximation when describing the exchange-correlation enhancement behaviour of spin paramagnetism in d-metals. A probable cause of the observed paramagnetic moment sensitivity to pressure in the stable f-states of heavy rare-earth metals is considered.
