Abstract
The magnetostriction curves and minor loops of the TbDyFe [110] oriented crystal are tested under different compressive pre-stress from 0 to 120 MPa. It is observed that the magnetostriction hysteresis first increases from about 33 Oe under 0 MPa, achieves the maximum of about 70 Oe under 30 MPa, and then decreases to about 16 Oe under 120 MPa (near disappearance) with an increase in the compressive pre-stress. By the theoretical simulation, it is found that upon increasing the compressive pre-stress the dominant energy changes from magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy to magnetoelastic energy. This leads to the domain rotation mode changing from irreversibility to reversibility and consequently results in the decrease of magnetostriction hysteresis, which explains the experimental results very well.
