MAGNETIZATION, MAGNETOCRYSTALLINE ANISOTROPY AND MAGNETOSTRICTION IN SOME RARE-EARTH-COBALT COMPOUNDS, R2Co17

摘要

The magnetocrystalline anisotropy and magnetostriction behavior of the rare-earth-cobalt intermetallics Lu(x)Tm(2-x)Co(17) and Y(x)Dy(2-x)Co(17) (X = 0,2/3,4/3,2) has been determined from measurements performed on large single crystals. Magnetization measurements were performed with a vibrating sample magnetometer and the magnetostriction was measured by standard strain gage techniques. Measurements were made from 77K to 500K in magnetic fields to 12,000 Oe.
