Abstract
The effect of magnetic-field cooling was measured on a single crystal of vanadium metal of 99.9% purity using a sensitive torque-magnetometer. It was found that uniaxial anisotropy with the easy axis parallel to the cooling field was induced by the magnetic-field cooling from 300°K down through the anomaly temperature to 87°K with cooling field 13 kOe, and that the induced anisotropy disappeared precipitously when the specimen was heated up to 280°K, which is ascribed to the anomaly temperature of this specimen. It is suggested that the anisotropy is due to the preferably oriented phase of vanadium hydride which has small spontaneous magnetization.
