Abstract
The self-consistent conditions for a localized magnetic moment in a metal are studied in the case where the density of states of the host metal is free electron like.
A method is outlined which in principle allows to determine self-consistently in the Hartree-Fock approximation the relevant parameters of the magnetic ground state of the system.
A numerical example is approximately worked out to show how the theory gives reasonable answers in spite of the crudeness of some of the approximations used.
