Abstract
In liquid alloys A-B on the verge of semiconducting state, the Knight shift K(x) on one or the other component deviates strongly from the trend shown by the magnetic susceptibility χ(x), over wide ranges of x. We use Sn-Te (and Cu-Te from the literature) as examples, presenting for the first time data for K of Te on the metal-rich side (Sn1-xTex, x = 10-8...0.5). As an explanation a quantitative connection is proposed between thermodynamic properties ΔH(x), ΔS(x) on the one hand and χ, K on the other, by using the quasichemical model, and by observing the local character of the Knight shift. Good agreement is achieved.
