We have used the Stern-Gerlach deflection technique to study magnetism in chromium clusters of 20-133 atoms at temperatures between 60 and 100 K. We observe that these clusters have large magnetic moments and respond superparamagnetically to applied magnetic fields. Using superparamagnetic theory, we have determined the moment per atom for each cluster size and find that it often far exceeds the moment per atom present anywhere in the bulk antiferromagnetic lattice. Remarkably, our cluster beam contains two magnetically distinguishable forms of each cluster size with >= 34 atoms. We attribute this observation to structural isomers.
