Magnetic susceptibility, χ, is defined as the magnetization of the material, M, divided by the applied magnetic field, H:

Superconductivity in single-crystal

“…CeIn 3 has the AuCu 3 structure, which has inspired new studies of the AuCu 3 family of materials. Normal state properties have been measured in YIn 3 via de Haas-van Alphen experiments [6], thermal conductivity [7], and heat capacity [8], leaving it well characterized and a promising candidate for further exploration of the interplay between crystal structure and magnetic superconductivity.…”
