| Abstract: | Measurements of the average magnetic susceptibility of Nd2S3, Gd2S3 and Dy2S3 are reported over the temperature range 4–300 K. Paramagnetic Gd2S3 becomes ferromagnetic below about 30 K. Magnetic ordering in Nd2S3 appears to take place near 60 K. Dy2S3 appears to remain paramagnetic to the lowest temperatures investigated. Reasonable agreement has been obtained between a calculation using Van Vleck's theory and the data obtained from these Faraday experiments. |
