Sa. Nikitin et al., GIANT ANOMALIES OF THE YOUNG MODULUS AND INTERNAL-FRICTION OF FERH ALLOY ABOVE THE AFM-FM TRANSITION POINT, Physics letters. A, 176(3-4), 1993, pp. 275-278
The temperature dependences of the Young's modulus and internal fricti
on of Fe49Rh51 alloy samples have been studied in the region 80-420 K
including a first-order antiferro-ferromagnetic transition. Giant anom
alies were discovered of the properties above the transition point at
320-380 K. The shapes and values of the anomalies were found to be str
ongly dependent on the heat treatment of the samples.
