Abstract
Magnetostriction measurements of powder-sintered samples using pulsed magnetic fields up to 15 T and between 25 and 300 K have been performe d. The strains were measured parallel, perpendicular and at 450 from t he c-axis, with the field parallel and perpendicular to these directio ns. To explain the thermal dependence of the irreducible strains, the standard magnetostriction model has been extended to take into account the excited spin-orbit coupling multiplets of the Sm3+ ion.
