Magnetostriction measurements on DyCu2 and Tb0.5Dy0.5Cu2 have been carried out in order to construct the magnetic phase diagrams. These data very well complement and support earlier magnetization measurements on these Rare Earth-Transition Metal compounds.

The RCu2 compounds (R = Rare earth) order antiferromagnetically at low temperatures. In fact, these compounds have been the first for which magnetic shape memory effects (MSM) could be shown in the antiferromagnetic as well as in the paramagnetic state. The transition field of the irreversible transition into several variants is enhanced in the antiferromagnetic state. As these antiferromagnets show complex magnetic phase diagrams their investigation is promising fundamental insights into the physical mechanisms of the shape memory magnetostriction.

The magnetostriction measurements have been accomplished at low temperature and high static magnetic fields by means of capacitive dilatometry. This method allows high resolution measurement. Further evaluation of the data was performed using the mean-field Monte-Carlo simulation program McPhase (http://www.mcphase.de).
