Abstract

Single crystals of praseodymium oxide with hexagonal A structure were prepared by the Verneuil process. Paramagnetic susceptibility measurements have been performed for various orientations of the crystal with respect to the magnetic field at constant temperatures (5, 77, 300°K) as well as at increasing temperatures (5–1000°K). They show an exceptional magnetic anisotropy ( χ ⊥ χ ∥ ⋍ 12 at 5°K). An interpretation of this phenomenon is proposed.
