Abstract

The magnetic behavior of bound shallow donors in CdS, a model S=½ amorphous antiferromagnet, has been measured by a Faraday rotation technique down to T~50 mK. The susceptibility, X, and dX/dT as well increase monotonically with decreasing T with no sign of an ordering transition even though the median exchange interaction of a spin is ~7 K. The results agree with a hydrogeniclike exchange model which is solved in terms of exactly diagonalized weakly interacting clusters.
