Abstract
The experimental study of magnetic susceptibility of dilute alloys of 3 d -transition metals in liquid antimony is presented. The localized d -electrons of nickel, iron and cobalt atom in liquid antimony are non-magnetic. The temperature dependence of the susceptibility contributed from localized d -electrons of Ni and Co in liquid Sb is positive and that of Fe in liquid Sb is negative. This fact is explained by the Anderson scheme. The dilute alloys of Mn in liquid Sb obey the Curie law. The dilute alloys of Cr in liquid Sb also obey the Curie-Weiss law and their Weiss temperatures are negative.
