Abstract

We carried out in situ x-ray diffraction measurements of magnetostriction in an Fe-18at%Ga alloy single crystal under magnetic fields. The sample studied here was a Goss-oriented square plate (dimensions: 10 mm × 10 mm × 1 mm height) cutting from as-grown single crystal ingot produced by the Czochralski method. In-plain magnetic fields were applied with various directions in this study. The influence of magnetic field direction on the stress/strain states was precisely analyzed by using our original x-ray single crystal stress/strain measurement method. As a result, applied field angle dependence of tri-axial magnetostriction states was successfully obtained. Thereby, we found that the singular anisotropic mechanical properties of this material play an important role for its magnetostriction properties.
