The Thermal Expansion Anomaly of Gadolinium

Journal Article · · Proceedings of the Royal Society. A. Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences
The thermal expansion of polycrystalline gadolinium was measured from 80 to 750 deg K. The anomaly in the expansivity in the region of the ferromagnetic Curie point corresponds to an isotropic volume strain of 2.7 x 10-3. The connection of the thermal expansion anomaly with the magnetostriction constants and the (hexagonal) magneto-elastic coupling constants is discussed.
