Abstract

We report measurements of the high field magnetoresistance of single crystals, and of the low field Hall effect and high field magnetization of polycrystalline samples of BaVS{sub 3}. Below the temperature T{sub MI}{approx_equal}70 K of the metal-insulator (MI) transition, the magnetization is linear for 0 T{sub MI} indicative of fluctuations in the gap above the MI transition. We use these results to discuss several models for the MI transition. (c) 1999 The American Physical Society.
