The magnetization of pure iron and nickel

Abstract
The saturation magnetizations of very pure iron and nickel have been measured absolutely by a force method at room temperature. The values are 217.6 and 55.1 emu/g (217.6 and 55.1 J T -1 kg -1 ) respectively. The theory and reliability of the force method are investigated and discussed. New measurements have also been made by a relative method on the same materials at temperatures ranging from 4 K to above the respective Curie temperatures of iron and nickel. Reduced magnetization, temperature data have been derived and are compared with those already available for face centred cubic cobalt.
