Crystal-field-induced spin rotations in NdCo/sub 2/ and HoCo/sub 2/: A Moessbauer study

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., B; (United States)
The magnetic anisotropy properties of /sup 57/Fe-doped NdCo/sub 2/ and HoCo/sub 2/ were studied by means of Moessbauer spectroscopy in the 4.2--300/sup 0/K temperature range. The experimental results indicate the presence of spin reorientations taking place at 43.5 and 16/sup 0/K, for NdCo/sub 2/ and HoCo/sub 2/, respectively. Single-ion-model crystal-field calculations account for the experimental results and allow the determination of the crystal-field parameters. (AIP)
