Popis: The first anisotropy constant K 1 as well as the differential susceptibility ΔX = Xχ - X∥ of MnF 2 has been determined from static torque measurements. The temperature range was for K 1 4.2 K to 66 K and for ΔX 4.2 K to 300 K. The result for K 1 is in good agreement with values obtained from antiferromagnetic resonance experiments. In order to explain the differential susceptibility in the paramagnetic region, it was found necessary to take the g-factor anisotropy into account.
