Abstract
The magnetostrictive stress for a Ho-6/Y-6 superlattice has been deter mined at low temperatures by means of a capacitive cantilever techniqu e. The magnetostrictive stress responsible for the basal plane distort ion is found to be strongly enhanced with respect to bulk holmium. An explanation accounting for the unusual thermal dependence of that stre ss is offered.
