31. We use here the magnetization data obtained with a standard magnetometer by Paschen et al. (unpublished) on the same sample. These results are in perfect agreement with similar data by S. Süllow et al. (Ref. [9])
32. 6 is the first example for such a blue shift of the plasma, edge as a function of both temperature and magnetic field. A much weaker blue shift of the plasma edge has also been seen as a function of temperature only, in ferromagnetic semimetals, like TbN: P. Wachter, F. Bommeli, L. Degiorgi, P. Burlet, F.
