One comes upon the various types of transition considered by Landau: “quantitative” transition without a changetransitions, of symmetry, firstones andbeing second order phase the and latter both studied in detail, particularly in the vicinity of 0°Kand of the so-called “critical point” where a first order one.phase The transition model demonstrates a the second order changes into general transformation normalizing the magnetization isothermals of any substance, ferro or anttferromagnetic, to a net of universal mothermals.

NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE OF F~IN RARE EARTH TRIFLUORIDES
T 1, Ca diffusion in CaWO4 appears to be extrinsic. Diffusion profiles for samples annealed at lower temperatures lead to two values of D. (Received 15 May 1967) (Revised 29 June 1967) 16.
ANTIFERROMAGNETISME DANS UN CHAMP MAGNETIQUE I. TRAITEMENT DE CHAMP MOLECULAIRE R. Bidaux, P. Carrara et B. Vivet (Service de Physique du Solide et de Resonance Magnetique, centre d’Etudes Nucléaires de Saclay, BP No. 2, 91, Gif-sur-Yvette, France) -
Le modèle de champ moléculaire, appliqué a. un antiferromagnetique d’Ising place dans un champ magnetique, se révèle être une excellente ifiustration des idées de Landau sur les transitions de phase. On rencontre en effet les divers types de transition envisages par celui-ci: transition “quantitative” sans changement de symétrie et transition de phase du premier et du second ordre; ces dernières font l’objet d’une étude détaillée, en particulier au voisinage de 0°Ket du “point critique” de raccordement entre les lignes de transition du premier et du second
V. Saraswati and R. Vijayaraghavan (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Bombay, India) Nuclear magnetic resonances of F~in rare earth trifluorides have been measured. The width and shift at any temperature is proportional to the moment of the rare earth ion and follow the susceptibility measurements of Kern and Raccah. A finite and negative shift of -0.3 ± 0.1% has been observed in GdF3 which agrees with -0. 46%, expected from the spin polarization calculation of Freeman and Watson. Apart from the usual paramagnetic broadening, resonance widths exhibit diffusion narrowing for the cerium group rare earth fluorides. (Received 8 May 1967) (Revised 12 June 1967) 18.
