Non‐transition metals, the effect of which is analysed in binary and ternary solid solutions of aluminium, decrease the magnetic susceptibility of aluminium to a higher degree than to be expected on the basis of spin susceptibility of conduction electrons in metals generally accepted. Using the pseudopotential method and a nearly free‐electron approximation, the present model explains the experimental results as the change in the Landau diamagnetic susceptibility resulting from the electrons and holes on the Fermi surface of the third zone, having the two potential parameters W (111) = 0.018 Ryd and W (200) = 0.053 Ryd.
