Magnetic anistropy of YFe11Ti single crystal and its hydride
The magnetocrystalline anisotropies of YFe11Ti and its hydride are studied by torque and pendulum magnetometer in the temperature range 4.2-700 K in magnetic fields up to 13 kOe both on single crystals and magnetically aligned powder samples. The temperature dependence of the anisotropy constants K-1(T) and K-2(T) is determined. The Curie temperature, saturation magnetization and easy c-axis anisotropy are increased by hydrogenation.
