Xc. Kou et al., DETERMINATION OF THE MAGNETOCRYSTALLINE ANISOTROPY OF R-T COMPOUNDS WITH THE EASY MAGNETIZATION DIRECTION PERPENDICULAR TO THE C-AXIS, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 158, 1996, pp. 83-84
A spinning-sample magnetic alignment (SSMA) method has been used to al
ign the basal planes of non-uniaxial Y2Fe17 and Gd2Fe17 compounds para
llel to each other. The magnetocrystalline anisotropy fields of magnet
ically aligned Y2Fe17 and Gd2Fe17 were determined, for the first time,
in the temperature range from 4.2 K to the Curie temperature using th
e SPD technique in a pulsed-field magnetometer.
