Experimental evidence for the anisotropy compensation between Dy3+ and Pr3+ ions has been observed directly by performing x-ray diffraction on magnetic-field aligned powders and by evaluating the spin-reorientation temperature and the magnetostriction of Tb0.2Dy0.8-xPrx(Fe0.9B0.1)(1.93) alloys. The spin-reorientation temperature decreases with increasing the Pr content. The easy magnetization direction (EMD) at room temperature of the alloys rotates continuously in the (1 (1) over bar0) plane from for x=0.18 to for x=0.40, subjected to the anisotropy compensation between Dy3+ and Pr3+ ions. It is observed that the EMD of some of the alloys lies along nonmajor axes at room temperature. A maximum value of magnetostriction is achieved at x=0.22, which is also attributed to the anisotropy compensation. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
