Magnetic Susceptibility of Zinc at Liquid Helium Temperatures

Abstract
The de Haas-van Alphen effect in zinc has been investigated at 4.2°K by measuring the couple on a zinc crystal in a uniform magnetic field. The data obtained give the dependence of the susceptibility both on field strength and on orientation of the crystal relative to the direction of the field. The susceptibility is found to be isotropic in the main cleavage plane. The experimental results are compared to the theory of Blackman and Landau, with which their main features are in qualitative agreement.
