Magnetic properties of uranium monosulphide

D.Phil. (Physics)Most of previous magnetic investigations performed on uranium chalcogenides have been limited to polycrystalline specimens. To extend the knowledge on magnetization processes in uranium monosulphide, single crystals were grown. The magnetization of these single crystals was determined in the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic regions as a function of temperature (4-300 °K), field strength (0-20 k0e) and orientation ..
