Abstract
Magnetization, Young´s moduli, and magnetostriction were measured on polycrystalline samples of Tb1-xDyxZn and Tb 1-yGdyZn. The easy axis phase boundary was determined for 0⩽x⩽0.6 and 0⩽y⩽0.4. To derive temperature dependencies of Young´s moduli, small transducer rings were excited into resonance at frequencies ~100 kHz. Estimated magnetomechanical coupling factors of polycrystalline Tb0.8Gd 0.2Zn in the region of easy axis reorientation are ~0.6. Magnetostrictions of polycrystalline TbZn at 77 K saturated at ~0.2% with relatively low fields (~1000 Oe), even for compressive stresses >40 MPa
