Paramagnetic susceptibility of BCC ferrite (a-Fe) and of cementite (Fe3C), was calculated in a temperature range above the Curie point, using a density functional-based method in conjunction with statistical approximations. The electronic structure and the magnetic energy of both systems were calculated using the full potential linear augmented plane wave (FPLAPW) method as implemented in the Wien2k Code. The temperature effect was captured by introducing the Boltzmann statistical distribution to describe the orientation
