Diamagnetism of Thallium Single Crystals

Abstract

WHILE several investigators have determined the susceptibilities of polycrystalline metals, measurements on single crystals have been rather few1. Bismuth crystals have been prepared and studied with great care by Focke2, while single crystals of a few other metals like zinc, tin and antimony have been examined by McLennan and his collaborators3. We have recently succeeded in making measurements of the diamagnetism of single crystals of some metals; and the results obtained with thallium are of particular interest.
