Magnetization processes and magnetostriction of Tb_(0.27)Dy_(0.73)Fe_(2) single crystal along 〈110〉 direction

摘要

The magnetostriction and magnetization process of a twin-free Tb_(0.27)Dy_(0.73)Fe_(2) single crystal along the 〈110〉 direction has been studied by strain gauge, vibrating sample magnetometer, and domain observation techniques. It was observed that the magnetostriction of the sample remained unchanged with increasing magnetic fields when H<1 kOe and quickly increased in the range 1
