Abstract

The magnetic susceptibility and its anisotropy of 1T-TaS 2 were measured from 300 K to 1.2 K. The paramagnetic part observed by DiSalvo et al. was confirmed and was found to increase rapidly with the temperature decrease below liquid helium temperature. The paramagnetic moment has a non-linear field dependence which cannot be explained by the Brillouin function. The origin of this paramagnetism seems not to be magnetic impurities but the correlation effect of Anderson localized electrons associated with a large amplitude of the charge density wave.
