MAGNETIC ORDERING IN THE FERROMAGNETIC RARE-EARTH METALS

The effect of the anisotropy energy on the screw structure is investigated concerning the magnetic structure of heavy rare-earth metals. In the high temperature region near the Neel temperature the free energy of the spin system is calculated and it is shown that if the preferred direction of the spin is in the c plane, a usual screw structure appears, whereas if the anisotropy energy makes the preferred direction of the spin parallel to the c axis, only the z-component oscillation first appears and then the oscillation of x or y component appears at a lower temperature. The change of the period of the screw and the various magnetic transitions observed in dysprosium, holmium and erbium are also discussed. (auth)
