Abstract
MEASUREMENTS have been made on the principal magnetic susceptibilities of single crystals of a large number of paramagnetic salts of the iron group, from room temperature down to about 80° K. A detailed discussion of the results on the basis of the crystalline field theory will shortly be published elsewhere. According to this theory, the deviations from the simple behaviour to be expected of the free ions are attributed to the Stark splitting of the energy-levels of the paramagnetic ion under the influence of the strong and generally asymmetric electric field that occurs in the neighbourhood of the paramagnetic ions in these crystals, due to the negatively charged atoms that surround these ions. The following are some of the main results obtained.
