The Magnetic Susceptibility of Lithium Hydride The Diamagnetism of Ionic Crystals

Abstract
The magnetic susceptibility of crystalline lithium hydride was measured at room temperature (300°A) and at 78°A and was found to be —4.60×10—6 per mole with practically no temperature coefficient. One theoretical prediction deviates from the experimental value by 90 percent and another by 130 percent. This discrepancy is interpreted as due mainly to a paramagnetism independent of the temperature which is present in all crystals and which has not been included in the calculations.
