In article <1992Nov10.151421.11274@murdoch.acc.Virginia.EDU> crb7q@kelvin.seas.Virginia.EDU (Cameron Randale Bass) writes: Now surely many of the people reading here have a physical problem that is compelling enough to discuss; compelling enough to wonder aloud what the ultimate solution might be.... Not a compelling mystery, but I was wondering what the current status is of explanations of ferromagnetism from "first principles". I remember reading in Feynmann that Ising-model type calculations at the time were giving the wrong sign for iron. However, that was nearly 30 years ago. What's the current scoop?
