Abstract

The single crystal magnetic susceptibility of the quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnet $KFeS_2$ is reported. The high temperature isotropic susceptibility is typical of a spin-l/2 Heisenberg chain. The intra- and inter- chain exchange constants are -44.7 K and 53.94 K, respectively. At 250 K, $KFeS_2$ exhibits a well defined transition to a three-dimensionally ordered antiferromagnetic state. The calculated perpendicular susceptibility at 0 K considering the zero point reduction in magnetisation for a S = l/2 one-dimensional chain from spin wave theory is close to the projected value obtained from the experimental data.
