Extract

The magnetic susceptibility of antimony both parallel and perpendicular to the trigonal axis is independent of field down to 4° K. The numerical value of the susceptibility parallel to the trigonal axis decreases with increasing temperature, similarly to that of bismuth, but perpendicular to the trigonal axis there is no temperature dependence. The results at higher temperatures are compared with earlier measurements and the comparison suggests that the susceptibility of antimony, like that of bismuth, is very sensitive to addition of foreign elements.
