Abstract
The temperature range of magnetic susceptibility measurements has been extended from 1450°C to 1850°C. In the range from 25°C to the highest temperature measured, the susceptibilities of V, Nb, and Ta decrease with increasing temperature, while the susceptibilities of Mo and W increase. A periodicity in the sign of the temperature coefficient of the magnetic susceptibility of the transition elements is discussed in relation to various theories of metals.
