Microstructure and magnetic properties of Tb-Dy-Fe/sub 1. 9/

Conference · · IEEE Trans. Magn.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6362102
Materials of the composition Tb/sub x/Dy/sub 1-x/Fe/sub 1.9/, (x=0.27, 0.3, and 0.5), have been prepared by a contained float-zone growth technique. These materials have been found to exhibit magnetostrictive strains greater than 1000 microstrain with magnetomechanical coupling coefficients of the order of 0.6. Microstructural investigations have highlighted the complex relationship between the magnetic domain structure and the inherent defect structure of the materials.
