Abstract
Huge magnetically induced strains (∼0.2%) were observed in cubic Tb at room temperature. An anomalous "positive" temperature dependence for the magnetostriction is found for Dy, yielding a peak in the magnetostriction exceeding 600 × above room temperature. The source of the magnetostriction is the large strain-dependent anisotropy of the rare-earth ion situated at the cubic sites in the lattice. The magnetoelastic energy of the rare-earth ions in these compounds is estimated to be 2 to 5 times larger than that of the rare-earth elements themselves.
