Diamagnetic susceptibility in single crystals of bismuth doped with gallium and indium
has been measured as a function of temperature between 100 and 300 K. Susceptibility
decreases with the increase of temperature for each of the samples and also with the
increase of the percentage of impurity. An attempt has been made to explain properly the
observed phenomena on the basis of the large diamagnetism exhibited by valence electrons.
