Abstract
The magnetic susceptibilities of the noble metals have been accurately measured close to the melting point in both liquid and solid states. In the liquid the susceptibilities are (in cgs volume units) Cu: (-0.70±0.01)×, Ag:(-2.05±0.01)×, Au: (-2.74±0.01)×, and in the solid Cu: (-0.59±0.01)×, Ag: (-1.84±0.01)×, Au:(-2.63±0.01)×. The results obtained agree well with the susceptibilities calculated recently by Borchi and de Gennaro if the effects of electron-electron interactions are correctly taken into acount.
