Magnetic susceptibility of Pr/sup 4 +/ in BaPrO/sub 3/: evidence of long-range magnetic order

Journal Article · · J. Solid State Chem.; (United States)

The authors have reexamined the magnetic behavior of BaPrO/sub 3/ in the temperature range 4.2 < T < 300 K. An anomaly in the susceptibility at 11.6(1) K has been observed, and is attributed to the onset of long-range ordering of the Pr/sup 4 +/ f-electrons. Above the critical temperature, the paramagnetism is composed of a temperature-dependent term with an effective moment of 0.7(1) ..mu../sub B/ and a temperature-independent term of 6.9(2) x 10/sup -4/ emu/mole. Calculations based on a simple crystal field model explain the low effective moment found experimentally.
