Abstract

Abstract Data of static magnetic susceptibility measurements on γ-irradiated single crystals of magnesium fluoride are reported for doses up to 1 × 1011 rad. The susceptibility was interpreted to consist of three parts: (1) a diamagnetic part xd =-0.384 × 10−6 emu/g, due to the normal MgF2 matrix; (2) a temperature-dependent paramagnetic part, obeying the Curie law, arising from unpaired electrons; and (3) a temperature‐independent paramagnetic part which is attributed to the presence of metallic magnesium. The results show that the radiation damage process in MgF2 is strikingly similar to that in LiF.
