Abstract
Measurements of the magnetic susceptibility of cesium and rubidium are reported for both the expanded liquid and the dense vapour phase at saturation conditions. From the discussion of these results and the comparison with the electrical transport properties and structural investigations a suggestion is given for the type of M-NM transition in expanded fluid alkali metals. The corresponding change in the electronic structure is qualitatively described.
