Abstract

The magnetostriction of the Ising antiferromagnet DyCrO3 during metamagnetic transitions induced by a magnetic field applied along the a and b axes of the crystal is investigated experimentally and theoretically. The magnetostriction measurements performed in the temperature range 1.5–4.2 K in magnetic fields up to 3 T clearly reveal the two-step character of the transition from the original antiferromagnetic structure to the ferromagnetic structure with the intermediate formation of a low-symmetry structure (when H is parallel to the a axis). The unusual behavior of the magnetostriction discovered during the magnetizing process provides information on the nature of magnetostriction in rare-earth Ising metamagnets.
