"...dc magnetic susceptibility measurements were made on all three compounds using a commercial superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer. A field of (5 T = 50 000 G) was used for the Y- and La-containing compounds. The Ho containing compound was measured in a field of (0.1 T = 1000 G) below 50 K and (0.2 T = 2000 G) above."
