Indium magnetic susceptibility

A.C. magnetic susceptibility data were taken using a Quantum Technology Corp. Meissner Probe operating at a frequency of 20kHz and a maximum a.c. field of 1 Oe. Resistivity was measured with a four-point resistance meter (Kelthley 580) using Indium contacts to the sample pellet. 

There have been many papers In recent years dealing with the magnetic properties of semiconductors. Such studies are of particular Importance when discussing the band structure and chemical bonding in semiconducting compounds. Indium antimonide and arsenide have been thoroughly studied in this respect ([1-3], etc.). It is of interest to study the solid solutions based on these compounds and, in particular, to examine the nature of the relationship between the susceptibility of the solid solutions and their composition, temperature, and carrier density.
