The effect of temperature variation on the magnetoelasticproperties of the CoAlxFe2−xO4 system (for x=0.0, 0.2, 05, and 0.7) has been studied. Substitution of Al3+ for Fe3+ was found to lower the Curie temperature of the samples and to change the lattice parameter. The magnitude of peak to peak magnetostriction, strain sensitivity, magnetomechanical hysteresis, and relative contributions of λ111 and λ100 to the resultant magnetostriction were found to vary with temperature. The results show the possibility of tailoring the magnetoelasticproperties of highly magnetostrictive cobalt ferrite at temperatures of interest by cation substitution.


Field Induced Structural Phase Transition At Temperatures Above The Curie Point In Gd5(Sixge1−X)4, Ravi L. Hadimani, Y. Melikhov, J. E. Snyder, David C. Jiles Jan 2009

Field Induced Structural Phase Transition At Temperatures Above The Curie Point In Gd5(Sixge1−X)4, Ravi L. Hadimani, Y. Melikhov, J. E. Snyder, David C. Jiles

Gd5(SixGe1−x)4 exhibits a field induced first order phase transition from a monoclinic paramagnetic to an orthorhombic ferromagnetic at temperatures above its Curie temperature for 0.41≤x≤0.51. The field required to induce the transition increases with temperature. This field induced first order phase transition was observed even above the projected second order phase transitiontemperature of the orthorhombic phase. This may be due to the fact that the applied magnetic field is so high that it causes the broadening to a wider range of higher temperatures of the second order phase transition of the orthorhombic phase, and at such high magnetic fields the …


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 …
