Magnetostrictive Property and Magnetic Domain Structure of Fe-Ga Alloy Single Crystal under Tensile Strain

Article Preview

Abstract:

The saturation value of the magnetostriction curve in the [100] direction of a Fe-Ga alloy single crystal was decreased from 226 to 55 ppm by applying the tensile strain of 533 ppm to the measured direction. By magnetic domain observation using a magneto-optic Kerr effect microscope, a complex structure composed of various magnetic domains was observed under zero applied strain. On the other hand, a stripe structure composed of magnetic domains with the magnetization direction in two kinds of <100> magnetic easy directions parallel to the tensile direction, which were separated by straight 180° domain walls, was observed under the tensile strain of 533 ppm. The characteristic magnetic domain structure due to the tensile strain was successfully observed as a cause of the significant decrease of the saturation value of the magnetostriction curve.
