Theory of the magnetic susceptibility of liquid Ce-Ni alloys

Abstract
The authors present a model theoretical calculation for the concentration dependence of the magnetic susceptibility chi and the temperature derivative (d chi -1/dT) as a function of concentration x in Ce1-xNix liquid alloys at high temperatures (1100 degrees C). The theory describes reasonably well the experimental results, including the range of concentrations for which (d chi -1/dT) is negative.
