Abstract
This paper reports measurements of magnetostriction λ and magnetoacoustic emission MAE in a specimen of the most recent Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe1.9 produced at Ames Laboratory. This specimen was produced by float zone solidification and was then annealed at 950 °C for one hour. The magnetostriction in a field of 3,000 Oe, under a compressive stress of 14 MPa, reached 2, 200 x 10-6. Magnetoacoustic emission signals were found to exhibit peak activity close to the maxima in dλ / dH.
