Abstract
The magnetic susceptibility of semiconductors depends on electronic properties of the lattice, on the motion of free carriers and on the presence of impurity states. Critical points in the work on Ge and Si are reviewed relative to demands they place on theoretical interpretations. Anomalies in the susceptibility of high-purity specimens, various aspects of valence band carrier susceptibility, and the susceptibility of acceptor states are not as yet explained satisfactorily.
