Abstract
IT is a well-known fact that antimony and bismuth possess a high diamagnetism in the solid massive state, the specific susceptibilities being 0.78 × 10−6 and 1.17 × 10−6 respectively at 30° C. according to my experiments. In a communication published in NATURE of Nov. 16, 1929, p. 762, I reported the results of the influence of particle size on the anomalous diamagnetism of antimony, its value falling on mechanical colloidalisation. Further experiments on chemical colloids of bismuth and antimony show a still more striking decrease.
