Fixed-number low-temperature Pauli susceptibility ($\chi /(2{\mu }_B^2)=g_F+\frac{{\pi }^2}{6}(g_F^{\prime \prime }-g_F^{\prime 2}/g_F)(k_{B}T{)}^2+O(T^4)$)

For a smooth single-spin density of states $g$ near a positive Fermi energy and fixed total particle number, the Sommerfeld expansion gives $\mu ={ϵ}_F-({\pi }^2/6)(g_F^{\prime }/g_F)(k_{B}T{)}^2+O(T^4)$. The spin contribution to the total-moment magnetic susceptibility, defined by differentiating with respect to $B$, is $2{\mu }_B^2\int g(E)[-n^{\prime }(E)]dE$. Expanding about $\mu$ and including the shift of chemical potential gives the displayed formula. The $g_F^{\prime \prime }$ term is thermal broadening; the $-g_F^{\prime 2}/g_F$ term enforces fixed particle number. A band edge or singular density of states within $k_{B}T$ of ${ϵ}_F$ requires a separate analysis. Orbital magnetic response is excluded.
