Abstract
Magnetization measurements on single crystals of gadolinium yield a Curie temperature of 290±1°K, determined by a plot of M2 vs H/M. Measurements of magnetization vs applied field extrapolated to zero field show appreciable magnetic order above this temperature. X‐ray lattice parameter measurements on the same crystals allow estimation of magnetization in zero field and confirm the presence of magnetic order up to ∼305°. The zero field moment at 290°, M(T=290°)/M(T=0°), is estimated from lattice expansion to be 0.3, compared to a value of 0.2 obtained from the extrapolated magnetization measurements.Keywords
