Abstract
The results of low temperature magnetization measurements carried out on the Dy0.73Tb0.27Fe2-xCox system and their hydrogenated compounds ar e presented. Low temperature (12 K) magnetization data reveals a large increase in anisotropy in the hydrogenated compounds, attributed to a modification in crystalline electric field effects as a result of the orientational ordering of hydrogen atoms in the lattice. The discrete step-wise increase in magnetization upto a field of 2 kOe in the pare nt alloys and the hydrogenated compounds is attributed to spin-flip me tamagnetism. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
