摘要
Quantum fluctuations are of central importance in itinerant ferromagnets; when modeled by a homogeneous electron gas with contact interactions, fluctuations deliver a rich phase diagram featuring a first order ferromagnetic transition preempted by a spin spiral and a paired density wave. In this work we develop the formalism to analyze the effects of fluctuations with a realistic screened Coulomb potential. The finite-ranged interaction suppresses the tricritical point temperature of the first order ferromagnetic transition, bringing theory into line with experiment, while retaining the exotic spin spiral and paired density wave. In an ultracold atomic gas a finite-ranged interaction damps the competing molecular instability, permitting the observation of ferromagnetic correlations.
