Knight shifts, Kv, of the V 51 isotope have been measured in binary alloys of V with Ti, Cr, and Tc. The shifts, KTC, of the Tc" nucleus have been measured over the whole composition range in the V-Tc system together with corresponding magnetic susceptibilities. The results on these bcc alloys indicate that the rigid band approximation is valid and nearly all electrons outside the closed 3p or 4/> shell form a common conduction band with admixtures of s and non-5 electronic states. Furthermore, these data augmented by electronic specific-heat measurements indicate that the proportion of electrons having s and non-s character changes with electron concentration within this common conduction band.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
