High Field Diamagnetic Susceptibility and the “Curie-Weiss Law” in Organic Liquid

抄録

High field diamagnetic susceptibility of organic liquids is measured by means of linear magnetic birefringence (Cotton-Mouton effect) in pulsed high magnetic field up to 400 kOe with special interest in the temperature dependence. It is found that the “Curie-Weiss law” should widely be applied for the high field diamagnetic susceptibility of organic liquids consisted of anisotropic diamagnetic molecules. The “Curie-Weiss constant” Θ reflects the intermolecular correlation in liquids and the obtained values are 0, 145 and 165 K for benzene, chlorobenzene and nitrobenzene, respectively.
