  • Abstract
    The saturation magnetizations and anisotropy constants of alloys in the system NdxY1-xCo5have been determined as a function of temperature from 4.2K to the Curie temperature. Measurements were performed on specimens cut from single crystals grown from the melt. The saturation magnetizations of the alloys do not show the expected monotonic dependence on temperature, but peak at a temperature at which K_{1}\\approx 0 . This behavior suggests the presence of large basal plane anisotropy. The anisotropy constants of the Nd3+ion have been determined as a function of composition. The anisotropy of the Nd3+ion is apparently not exclusively single ion.
