On the Origin of the Large Magnetic Anisotropy of Rare Earth-Cobalt Compounds
Experimental data on the magnetocrystalline anisotropy in Co, YCo5, GdCo5, SmCo5 and Y2Co17 is analysed using a single-ion crystal field and isotropic exchange interaction. The large magnetic anisotropy at high temperatures in the alloys is due to significant deviations in the alloy lattices of the ratio c/a from the ideal square root (8/3) ratio.
