Estimation Of Second Order Phase Transition Temperature Of The Orthorhombic Phase Of Gd5(Sixge1−X)4 Using Arrott Plots, Ravi L. Hadimani, Y. Melikhov, J. E. Snyder, David C. Jiles Jan 2008

Estimation Of Second Order Phase Transition Temperature Of The Orthorhombic Phase Of Gd5(Sixge1−X)4 Using Arrott Plots, Ravi L. Hadimani, Y. Melikhov, J. E. Snyder, David C. Jiles

Gd5(SixGe1−x)4 for 0.41⩽x⩽0.5 is orthorhombic and ferromagnetic at lower temperature, monoclinic and paramagnetic at higher temperature, and shows a first order magnetic-structural phase transition between the two. Magnetic moment versus magnetic field (MH) isotherms were measured just above the first order transitiontemperature for Gd5Si1.95Ge2.05 and Gd5Si2Ge2 samples and the field-induced coupled phase transition from paramagnetic/monoclinic to ferromagnetic/orthorhombic phase was observed. Using the method developed by Arrott [Phys. Rev.108, 1394 (1957)], the ferromagnetic portions of the MH isotherms were used to project the second order magnetic phase transitiontemperature of the orthorhombic phase, a region where the transition does not occur due …

Including Effects Of Microstructure And Anisotropy In Theoretical Models Describing Hysteresis Of Ferromagnetic Materials, H. Hauser, Y. Melikhov, David C. Jiles

David C. Jiles

Two recent theoreticalhysteresis models (Jiles-Atherton model and energetic model) are examined with respect to their capability to describe the dependence of the magnetization on magnetic field, microstructure, and anisotropy. It is shown that the classical Rayleigh law for the behavior of magnetization at low fields and the Stoner-Wohlfarth theory of domain magnetization rotation in noninteracting magnetic single domain particles can be considered as limiting cases of a more general theoretical treatment of hysteresis in ferromagnetism.
