Abstract
Magnetostriction and differential scanning calorimetry measurements have been made on the TbxDy1-x alloy system. Measurements spanning the ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic spiral, and paramagnetic states were made from 56 K to 300 K in fields of 6 20 kOe. The two lowest order magnetostriction constants were determined, as was the basal plane anisotropy. The anisotropy was found to compensate at finite temperatures in the x = 0.67 and 0.50 alloys.
