Abstract: | It is shown for ferromagnetic US that an extremely large anisotropy restrains magnetic moments to 〈111〉 easy axes, resulting in a near cos θ angular dependence of the magnetization away from the 〈111〉 axes. This is further confirmed by torque measurements, which in addition show large hysteresis effects upon rotation through the hard axes. It is illustrated through torque and magnetization measurements that a near stable domain configuration can be established by field rotation through decreasing angular amplitude around a hard 〈001〉 direction. The anisotropy constant K1(T) is estimated by computing the small angle through which the magnetization deviates from the 〈111〉 axes when a field is applied along the 001] direction. |
