Magnetization curves, Curie temperature, and lattice constants of twin-free [111]-oriented single-crystal Tb{sub 0.27}Dy{sub 0.73}(Fe{sub 1{minus}{ital x}}Al{sub {ital x}}){sub 2} ({ital x}=0, 0.1) were investigated. It was observed that with the substitution of Al for Fe, Curie temperature and magnetocrystalline anisotropy decrease, and lattice constants increase. It is shown from the curves of magnetic moment versus temperature that the anisotropy compensation temperature of Tb{sub 0.27}Dy{sub 0.73}(Fe{sub 0.9}Al{sub 0.1}){sub 2} is 280 K, which is higher than 260 K of Tb{sub 0.27}Dy{sub 0.73}Fe{sub 2}. Besides, the saturation magnetostriction {lambda}{sub 111} of Tb{sub 0.27}Dy{sub 0.73}(Fe{sub 0.9}Al{sub 0.1}){sub 2} was measured by using strain gauge method. The result indicates that {lambda}{sub 111} increases from 1.01{times}10{sup {minus}3} to 1.54{times}10{sup {minus}3} as the compressive stress is increased from 0 to 12 MPa, and that the maximal {ital D}{sub 33}({ital d}{lambda}/{ital dH}) is about 1.0. It is the first time to present the experimental data of the twin-free [111]-oriented single crystal of Tb{sub 0.27}Dy{sub 0.73}(Fe{sub 0.9}Al{sub 0.1}){sub 2}. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
