On the theory of metamagnet transitions

Abstract: The domain structure in the region of the metamagnet transition is considered and the magnetic susceptibility, magnetostriction, and BE-effect are calculated. It is ahown that the appearing domain walls may be of two types: discrete walls having the smaller energy, where an activation energy is necessary to displace them and continuous walls whose energy is greater, but which can be displaced elastically. Two nucleation mechanisms are considered.

“…Thus we see that the phase transition is of the first type. Noting thatwe may conclude that the transition, as in the previous case, occurs by moving of the metamagnetic walls [26]. When defects are introduced in the crystal the phase transition is field spread [24].…”

“…The presence of a domain structure can change the character of remagnetization of the uniaxial metaniagnet for the transition from the AFM state to the F M one as considered in the previous section. This was discussed in [4]. The appearance of the F M phase nucleus is possible inside the domain wall of the AFM phase due to the existence of a field for which thermodynamic potentials are equal.…”

“…For explaining the hysteresis in the field parallel to the a-axis and the small remanent magnetization it is necessary to take into account the fourth-order anisotropy constant because Gd3Co and (Gdo.zTbo,8)3Co have orthorhombic symmetry. The presence of the fourth-order anisotropy constant can ensure the reorientation of the field to the a-axis by the first-order phase transition [4]. We shall consider an orthorhombic metamagnet in future.…”

“…Most theoretical studies in this field are restricted to the investigations of Stoner-Wohlfarth processes through coherent switching [34] in models with uniaxial and cubic anisotropies [35,36,37,38,39,40,41]. Such theories describe magnetization reversal in a limiting case of ideally hard magnetic materials.…”
