Abstract
A brief account of the zero temperature magnetic response of a system of strongly correlated electrons in strong magnetic field is given in terms of its quasiparticle properties. The scenario is based on the paramagnetic phase of the half-filled Hubbard model, and the calculations are carried out with the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) together with the numerical renormalization group (NRG). As well known, in a certain parameter regime one finds a magnetic susceptibility which increases with the field strength. Here, we analyze this metamagnetic response based on Fermi liquid parameters, which can be calculated within the DMFT-NRG procedure. The results indicate that the metamagnetic response can be driven by field-induced effective mass enhancement. However, also the contribution due to quasiparticle interactions can play a significant role. We put our results in context with experimental studies of itinerant metamagnetic materials.
