TORQUE MEASUREMENTS ON SINGLE-CRYSTALLINE Y2Co17, Gd2Co17 AND Y2Fe17

Abstract
Contributions from the 3d sublattice to the magnetic anisotropy of the rare-earth transition metal intermetallic compounds have been studied in the Y2Co17, Gd2Co17 and Y2Fe17. Values for the anisotropy constants of Gd2Co17 deduced from magnetic torque measurements, perfectly account for the transition in the magnetisation process observed dong the hexagonal axis at 1.06 T at liquid-helium temperature
