Abstract

The magnetic properties of single-crystalline easy-axis ThMn 12-type ferrimagnetic HoCo 10Ti 2 have been studied. At 4.2 K, the magnetization process with the field applied along the easy c-axis is completely different from that, with the field applied perpendicular to it. The bending process of the initially antiparallel Ho and Co magnetic moments, that is observed in the latter measurement, is briefly described in terms of mean-field theory. Furthermore, when the field is applied in the hard magnetization direction, the bending process has directly been observed by means of measurement of the transversal magnetization.
