In the framework of the McClure model, which describes the electronic energy spectrum ofbismuth and its alloys in the neighborhood of the L point of the Brillouin zone, an expression isobtained for the electron energy levels in a magnetic field. This expression is used tocalculate the magnetic susceptibility of bismuth alloys at arbitrary magnetic fields. It is shownthat the theoretical results are in good agreement with the entire set of publishedexperimental data on the field, temperature, and concentration dependences of the magneticsusceptibility of bismuth–antimony alloys. 2000 American Institute of Physics.
