Abstract
The magnetization distribution in the layered ionic compounds CrCl3 and CrBr3 has been studied using polarized neutron diffraction. The results show that in both compounds ∼20% of the magnetic moment is not located in 3d‐like orbitals centered on the chromium ions. This reduction of the 3d moment sets a lower limit (Aπ2>.04) on the square of the covalent admixture parameter. The spatial distribution of the delocalized moment has been studied by Fourier techniques which indicate a significant moment density between chromium ions in the chromium layers.
