Av. Korolyov et al., QUASI-MAGNETOELASTIC AFTEREFFECT AND INDUCED MAGNETIC-ANISOTROPY CAUSED BY ABSORBED HYDROGEN IN RARE-EARTH MGCU2 - STRUCTURE COMPOUNDS, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 29(6), 1993, pp. 2899-2901
The new phenomenon called the quasimagnetoelastic aftereffect has been
described in this paper. it was found that in Sm(Fe1-xCox)2Hn (n appr
oximately 0.1) compounds the fast change in orientation of the magneti
zation initiated a slow change in the sample size. The deformation of
the sample can achieve the value of 10(-3). The induced magnetic aniso
tropy and the magnetic annealing effect also were observed in these co
mpounds. The obtained results have been explained using the model of t
he orientational ordering of hydrogen atoms, which is caused by the ma
gnetostrictive deformation of the crystal lattice.
