Influence of strain on the coexistence state of ferromagnetic superconductors

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
The coexistence of sinusoidal magnetic order and ferromagnetism in the superconducting phase of ErRh/sub 4/B/sub 4/ is explained by the existence of an inhomogeneous strain which locally creates additional magnetocrystalline anisotropy, enhancing the ferromagnetic-phase-transition temperature more than the superconducting-sinusoidal-phase-transition temperature.
