In a companion paper we have determined values for the crystal field splitting parameters of manganese and of chromium in zinc. In the present paper we estimate the influence, to second- and third-order in the exchange constant Jsd, of the crystal field splitting on the electrical resistivity and the magnetization. We find that the influence of the crystal field splitting is to produce a T2 term in the resistivity without the necessity of assuming the existence of local spin fluctuations.

The theory of the preceding paper is applied to the cubic LnNi 2 compounds, and shown to give a satisfactory explanation of the observed saturation moments and Curie temperatures. The overall crystal field splitting is between 100 and 300 °K for all ions (except Gd3+), and the exchange interaction —2 f S.S. requires values between f/k — 2 and 6°K.

We have extended the low temperature magnetic anisotropy measurements on single crystals of zinc containing up to 600 p.p.m. manganese from magnetic fields of 9 to 56 kG. The crystal field splitting parameters determined at low magnetic fields also characterizes the magnetic anisotropy at high magnetic fields. Manganese–manganese interaction effects are observed in the magnetic anisotropy at manganese concentrations greater than 300 p.p.m. Low temperature magnetic anisotropy measurements on single crystals of zinc containing up to 164 p.p.m. chromium are reported and indicate a crystal field splitting of 0.16 K for the chromium ion.
