Effects of electron transitions on the susceptibility of CdMg.

The monotone susceptibility component has been examined at 4.2-420 K for CdMg ordering single crystals for 0.18 < x < 0.33. The temperature and concentration curves for the susceptibility components show features related to structural and electronic topological transitions. The susceptibility anomalies at the electron-transition points are correlated with the boundaries to the existence of the allotropic forms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
