(The larger exponent holds within a row of the periodic table; the smaller exponent is an average over a wide range of atomic numbers.) See N. Papanikolaou, N. Stefanou, P. H. Dederichs, S.

49. P. Mohanty, E. M. Q. Jariwala, and R. A. Webb, Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 3366 (1997) and references therein have shown that dilute spins do not cause (Formula presented) to saturate as (Formula presented) approaches zero, but rather produce a (Formula presented) behavior from the Kondo effect. We cannot distinguish such a weak temperature dependence from saturation, because our experiments are limited to temperatures above 1 K.
