Popis: We study magnetic short-range order in Fe and Ni above the Curie temperature using the nonlocal dynamic spin-fluctuation theory with self-consistent calculation of the self-energy. We calculate the spatial correlation function of Fe and Ni at nearest neighbours, next-nearest neighbours, etc., in a wide range of temperatures. Our results are in agreement with neutron scattering experiments but give a larger short-range order compared to classical spin models. We show that the spatial spin correlator decreases ten times at distances of about 6 A in Fe and 8 A in Ni at T / T C = 1.1 and short-range order remains well above the Curie point.
