The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Samuel Walter Johnson Smith, on a paper 'The influence of molecular constitution and temperature on magnetic susceptibility. - Part III. On the molecular field in diamagnetic substances' by A E Oxley

Reference number: RR/21/128

Date: July 1914

Description

Sectional Committee: Physics and Chemistry

Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. The paper is a continuation of another already published in the Philosophical Transactions. Does not find the paper altogether convincing. Refers to work by Weiss [Pierre-Ernest Weiss?]. Suggests a fuller opinion could be given by a mathematical physicist, suggests Thomas Henry Havelock, to whose work is referred in the paper.

[Published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, 1915]
