Features of the low-temperature transformation in the micromagnetic structure of the intermetallic compound Ho2Fe17

Abstract

We found that a three-phase micromagnetic structure may emerge when a magnetic field is applied to the intermetallic compound Ho2Fe17 with the magnetic crystallographic anisotropy of the «easy plane» type in the temperature range 10 ÷ 110 К. Using the method of magneto-optic Kerr effect, the temperature dependence of the field value where the third magnetic phase emerges was determined.
