Magnetostriction temperature dependencies in Tb0.3Dy0.7 (Fe1−xMnx)2 were investigated. Mn substitution lowers the spin reorientation temperature, at which magnetostriction shows a sharp drop. Moreover, Mn containing compounds show larger magnetostriction than that for a Mn-free compound at low temperature. Mössbauer measurements show that easy magnetization direction for the Mn containing compound is in the 〈111〉 direction at 300 K, while it is in the 〈100〉 at 77 K. These results indicate that the tetragonal distortion λ100 increases by Mn addition in Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
