Spin reorientation in high magnetic field and the Co-Gd exchange field in GdCo5 — •Michael Kuzmin1, Yuri Skourski1, Dieter Eckert1, Manuel Richter1, Karl-Hartmut Müller1, Konstantin Skokov2, and Irina Tereshina31Leibniz-Institut für Festkörper- und Werkstoffforschung, IFW Dresden, PF 270116, D-01171 Dresden — 2Faculty of Physics, Tver State University, 33 Gelabova Str., 170002 Tver, Russia — 3Baikov Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science RAS, Leninskii Pr. 49, 119991 Moscow, Russia

An upturn in the high-field magnetization curve of a GdCo5 single crystal is observed at about 46 T, which is interpreted as the onset of a process of spin reorientation from the ferri- towards ferromagnetic structure via an intermediate canted phase. This enables us to evaluate the Co-Gd exchange field in GdCo5 as BTR=233 ± 12 T. This value is very close to the total exchange field on Gd, BR= 236 ± 8 T, known from earlier inelastic neutron experiments. The difference, BRR = BRBTR, is attributed to the Gd-Gd exchange interaction. Its smallness provides solid experimental justification for neglecting the 4f-4f exchange in 3d-4f hard magnetic materials. A full-potential density-fuctional calculation of BTR has been carried out using a new approach within the fixed-spin-moment (FSM) technique. The calculated value, BTR = 258 T, is 11% too high, most likely because the FSM formalism disregards orbital magnetic moments.
