Abstract
Magnetic susceptibilities of a number of the rare earth (R) phosphomol ybdates, RPO4(MoO3)(12) x 30H(2)O, have been measured from 300 K down to similar to 10 mK. These materials are cubic, with space group Fd(3) over bar, and are characterized by weak crystalline field splittings. Most can be explained in terms of a lowest order theory for a crystal field with T-d(<(4)over bar 3m>) symmetry, but those of Tb, Ho, and T m disagree. The discrepancy appears to be due to disorder in the posit ion of the cations about the 8 a sites.
