Magnetic susceptibilities of the alkali metals through the melting points

  • Published:
Physik der kondensierten Materie

Abstract

The magnetic susceptibilities of the alkali metals Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs have been followed through the melting points. The changes in susceptibility, expressed relative to the total room temperature susceptibility are respectively: 1.0%, 2.5%, 1.0%, −2.8% and −8.6%.

Résumé

La susceptibilité magnétique des métaux alcalins Li, Na, K, Rb et Cs a été mesurée jusqu’au dessus du point de fusion. Les variations de la susceptibilité, par rapport aux valeurs prises à la température ambiante, sont respectivement: 1.0%, 2.5%, 1.0%, −2.8% et −8.6%.

Zusammenfassung

Die magnetischen Suszeptibilitäten der Alkalimetalle Li, Na, K, Rb und Cs wurden bis in die flüssige Phase untersucht. Die relativen Änderungen der Suszeptibilitäten am Schmelzpunkt, ausgedrückt in Prozenten der Zimmertemperaturwerte, betragen in der entsprechenden Reihenfolge 1.0%, 2.5%, 1.0%, −2.8% und −8.6%.
