Abstract
An investigation of the temperature dependence of the thermomagnetic torque has been carried out in normal hydrogen and normal deuterium. Measurements were made with a very sensitive torsion pendulum over a range of temperatures from 200 to 386K, a pressure range o 0.06 to 1.50 torr, and a magnetic field range of a few oersteds to 250 Oe. At room temperature, the torque was found to exhibit peaks at two magnetic field values in n-Dg. In both cases investigated, the optimum value of the torque-times-pressure was found to increase with temperature for temperatures from 200 to about 300 K, and then to remain constant (as in n-D(subscript_2)) or to decrease slightly (as in n-H(subscript_2)) when the temperature was further increased to 386K.
