Magnetic Susceptibilities of Liquid Na–Sn Alloys

抄録

The magnetic susceptibility of liquid Na–Sn alloys has been measured as a function of temperature and concentration. The curve of susceptibility isotherm exhibits a distinct minimum around the composition of Na₄Sn₃ near the liquidus temperature. At the same composition, the remarkable temperature dependence has also been observed, and the minimum point in the susceptibility isotherm shifts from Na₄Sn₃ to NaSn at higher temperatures. This large temperature variation has been explained in terms of the partial dissociation of the compound-forming liquid alloy.
