Abstract
The structural and magnetostrictive properties of (CexTb1-x)(0.5)Pr0.5 Fe2 were investigated. The Ce concentration must exceed x = 0.6 in ord er to obtain the pure Laves phase. The magnetostriction and anisotropy constant increase with the Tb content in this system. The anisotropy value of PrFe2 is lower than that of isostructural DyFe2. From the x-r ay step-scanned data, we find that lambda(111) of PrFe2 is 1310 ppm. A large increase can be observed under a small prestress of 6 MPa for C e0.5Pr0.5Fe2.
