Abstract
The 5f 6 ions Am 3+ and Cm 4+ should exhibit temperature-independent magnetic behavior (van Vleck paramagnetism) at low temperatures. There have been few reports in the literature on the magnetic behavior of these ions, and while Am 3+ has been shown to exhibit the expected temperature-independent behavior, there are also reports of anomalously large effective magnetic moments. A curium-containing compound with an effective moment less than 1.6 μ B has yet to be reported. This paper is a review of the available literature on the magnetic behavior of the 5f 6 ions, and a discussion of the possible interpretation of the anomalous behavior exhibited by these ions.
