Abstract
The results of measuring the temperature dependence of the susceptibility χ(T) of samples of PbSe, Sb2Se3, Sb2Te3, Bi2Se3 and Bi2Te3 are given and the measured curves explained. The connection between the molar susceptibility of the characteristic crystal lattice of these semiconductors and the total number of electrons in their molecules is pointed out.
