16. Because of the pronounced Dysonian line shape, the spin susceptibility of sample No. 1 was deduced from the normalized product of the height of the ESR signal times the square of its linewidth rather than from numerical integration. The correction to account for the line asymmetry remains negligible. The drop at 50 K is, however, independent of the method used to deduce the susceptibility.
