Variation with Temperature of the Magnetic Susceptibility of Some Transition Elements

Abstract

THE dependence on temperature of the magnetic susceptibilities of the transition elements has been measured over various ranges of temperatures1, and a series of experiments is now being carried out in this Department in an attempt to confirm some of the results and extend others in the temperature range 20°–1,800° C. Preliminary results have been obtained for the elements platinum, rhodium, zirconium, titanium, tantalum and niobium. The room temperature values of the susceptibilities (measured by comparison with platinum at room temperatures) and the values at temperature intervals up to 1,750° C. are given in Table 1.
