Abstract

High-field magnetization process in Pr 2Fe 14B single crystal has been studied in static magnetic fields up to 230 kOe. The spontaneous magnetization is along the [001] direction of the tetragonal structure down to 1.5 K. When the field is applied along the [100] and [110] directions at low temperatures, magnetization jumps are observed at about 130 kOe and 160 kOe, respectively, which are considered to correspond to the first order magnetization process (FOMP). Observed features of the magnetization curves including FOMP and their temperature dependence are well reproduced by the calculation based on a simplified Hamiltonian including the crystalline electric fields and the FePr
