Abstract
Two mechanisms are identified as possible sources of the diamagnetic enhancement of the susceptibility of amorphous semiconductors relative to the corresponding crystals. One of these is the presence of large orbits associated with localized states close to the mobility edge. The other is the reduction in the paramagnetic Van Vleck contribution arising from the loss of long-range order.
