Abstract
LAST year Dr. Honda and the present writers published a paper dealing with the magnetic properties of single crystals of iron (NATURE, 117, 753; 1926). The present paper contains the result of the similar investigations on nickel. In order to obtain large crystals of nickel, a strained bar of electrolytic nickel melted in vacuo was continuously heated at 1300° C. for several days, but the result was the formation of twinning crystals of several millimetres in length and no further growth took place. In the second trial, molten metal was cooled from the bottom of the crucible containing it by slowly lowering the vessel out of an electric furnace; in this way we were able to prepare large crystals of nickel, 7 cm. in length and 2.3 cm. in diameter.
