Magnetic Susceptibility and Electronic Specific Heat of Transition Metals and Alloys IV. V and Ti Metals and V-Cr and V-Ti Alloys

Abstract

Calculations on temperature variations of electronic specific heats and magnetic susceptibilities are performed for V and Ti metals and V-Cr and V-Ti alloys by making use of the density of states determined from low temperature specific heat data for the iron group transition metals and their alloys. Temperature variations of electronic specific heats for V and Ti metals are explained by the present numerical calculations. Temperature variations of magnetic susceptibilities are well explained by taking account of the effect of the temperature independent orbital paramagnetism for V and Cr metals and V-Cr alloys and by taking account of the effects of the temperature independent orbital paramagnetism and the positive and the negative molecular fields for Ti metal and V-Ti alloys. The Knight shifts of V 51 in V metal and V-Cr alloys are discussed and are considered to be composed of a large positive contribution due to the orbital motion of conduction electrons, a large negative one due to the exchange pola...
