Abstract
We have studied the susceptibility of small Pd and Pt particles of dia meter d = 1-15 nm. Both Pd and Pt are Stoner-enhanced Pauli paramagnet s in bulk form. We observe a strong reduction of the susceptibility wi th decreasing d. A model is presented that describes the results in te rms of a size-dependent Stoner factor.
