Extract

Some data obtained at Leiden on relaxation effects in a diluted potassium chrome alum are discussed in the light of a paper by Temperley (10), and excellent agreement is found with the conclusions of that paper. The primary effect of diluting the salt is to reduce the magnetic interaction, and the observed effects are a big increase in the relaxation time in zero field, and a decrease of the relaxation time with increasing field instead of an increase. It is predicted that a decrease should set in with an ordinary salt at liquid helium temperatures at fields somewhat higher than have so far been used. Van Vleck's criticisms of Temperley's paper are discussed, and it is concluded that they are not valid in their present form.
