Initial Susceptibility of Ferromagnetic Iron and Iron-Vanadium Alloys just above Their Curie Temperatures

Abstract
Induction measurements of magnetization of spherical samples of Fe and Fe(V) alloys in low applied fields are used to deduce the temperature dependence of initial susceptibility near the critical temperature. The initial susceptibility follows an expression of the form χ=A(T−Tc)−γ, where Tc is the Curie temperature. The value of γ for Fe is 1.37±0.04. In dilute Fe(V) alloys γ decreases with increasing concentration of solute.
