Below the ordering temperature T N , M vs. H is still linear with no H = 0<br />

magnetization, but the susceptibility depends on the orientation of the<br />

magnetic field with respect to that of the magnetic moments [56]. For<br />

example, Figure 3-16 shows the susceptibility of platinum containing<br />

“CaRuO 3 ” crystals, or CaRu/PtO 3 described in section 2.1.2.1. If the magnetic<br />

field is applied parallel to the ordered moments, the applied torque (µ × H) is<br />

small so the susceptibility decreases to zero. The CaRu/PtO 3 crystal when<br />

oriented with the 2-fold symmetric axis parallel to H shows such a<br />

susceptibility. When the field is perpendicular to the ordered moments, the<br />

torque is maximized providing a large, constant susceptibility in the ordered
