Title: Anomalous magnetoelastic behaviour near morphotropic phase boundary in ferromagnetic Tb1-xNdxCo2 system

Abstract

In this study, we report a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) involved ferromagnetic system Tb1-xNdxCo2 and reveal the corresponding structural and magnetoelastic properties of this system. With high resolution synchrotron X-ray diffractometry, the crystal structure of the TbCo2-rich side is detected to be rhombohedral and that of NdCo2-rich side is tetragonal below their respective Curie temperatures TC. The MPB composition Tb0.35Nd0.65Co2 corresponds to the coexistence of the rhombohedral phase (R-phase) and tetragonal phase (T-phase). Contrary to previously reported MPB involved ferromagnetic systems, the MPB composition of Tb0.35Nd0.65Co2 shows minimum magnetization which can be understood as compensation of sublattice moments between the R-phase and the T-phase. Furthermore, magnetostriction of Tb1-xNdxCo2 decreases with increasing Nd concentration until x = 0.8 and then increases in the negative direction with further increasing Nd concentration; the optimum point for magnetoelastic properties lies towards the rhombohedral phase. Finally, our work not only shows an anomalous type of ferromagnetic MPB but also provides an effective way to design functional materials.
