Abstract
Magnetic-susceptibility and sublattice-magnetization data are analyzed with correction-to-scaling terms included. Critical exponents and are deduced, with the assumption of modified power-law expressions and with , , and . emu/mole, or for the reduced susceptibility, and are also determined. is larger than most theoretical estimates for the Ising model on various three-dimensional lattices. is smaller than theoretical results. The amplitude ratio is about 0.83, larger than theoretical values for this nonuniversal but only weakly lattice-dependent quantity. Heat-capacity data are sparse and less reliably analyzed, but suggest abnormally large values of (> 0.3) and rather small values of (0.2 to 0.5) in . Including a correction-to-scaling term does not alter this conclusion. The ratio is in the range 0.12 to 0.33, substantially less than theoretical values for this universal quantity. A straightforward explanation for the unusual critical behavior is not apparent.
