Properties for Pseudopotentials: Magnetic Data

This guide teaches researchers how to locate some basic physical properties of elements and oxides, specifically required for generating and testing pseudopotentials. Last revision: February 2025

Magnetic Data in the CRC Handbook

Section 4 of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics deals with properties of the elements and inorganic substances and includes a section entitled, "Magnetic Susceptibility of the Elements and Inorganic Compounds," beginning on p.4-131  You can access the CRC Handbook either in print in the Chemistry Library Reading Room on online.  If you want to use the online version, please follow these steps to zoom directly to the table in question.

  1. Visit http://hdl.library.upenn.edu/1017/6933, which will take you to the main page of the CRC Handbook.
  2. Conduct a search for the term "magnetic susceptibility." This will return a number of results, but the result in Chapter 4 is the one you are looking for.
  3. Alternatively, you may use the sidebar to expand the chapter "Properties of Inorganic Compounds" to find this data.

A search result for magnetic data as well as the sidebar showing where you can access such data in the CRC Handbook online.

Finding Magnetic Data in Reaxys

Reaxys contains the properties and reactions of more than 22 million organic, inorganic, and organometallic substances, including elements, diatomic gases, and metal oxides.  You can link to Reaxys by visiting http://hdl.library.upenn.edu/1017/76928.  

Finding Magnetic Data in SciFinder

The CAS Registry contains almost 70 million substances and over 60 million sequences, providing seamless linking from substance records into the primary literature.  To use SciFinder, follow this link: http://hdl.library.upenn.edu/1017/7033.

Finding Magnetic Data in Knovel

Knovel is a collection of more than one thousand online reference books and monographs in all areas of science and engineering.  Its data search allows you to find property information, while the keyword search helps you to search the full text of the works included.
