Summary

The magnetic and related properties of lanthanide and actinide pnictides and chalcogenides have been compiled in subvolume 27B. While lanthanide pnictides and chalcogenides have been discussed in subvolumes 27B1 to 27B5, the properties of actinide pnictides and chalocogenides are covered in subvolumes 27B6, 27B7 and 27B8. Subvolumes 27B7 and 27B8 (already published) deal with binary and ternary actinide pnictides and chalocogenides. Actinide monopnictides have been covered in subvolume to 27B6a, and the present subvolume 27B6ß discusses actinide monochalcogenides, specifically compounds of actinides with sulphur, selenium, and tellurium, as well as solid solutions with either anion or cation mixing Actinide compounds exhibit a rich pattern of magnetic properties due to the pecularities of 4f and 5f electrons. In addition to magnetic properties, crystal structure, results of neutron diffraction studies, nuclear gamma resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, transport properties, dielectric and optical data are reviewed.
