| Abstract | Temperature dependent magnetoelastic properties of Fe100-xGex(5 < x < 18) single crystals have been measured. Tetragonal magnetostriction (3/2)lambda(100) measurements at x = 5.7, 12.1, 14.9, and 17.7 were performed between 78 K and 426 K and resonant ultrasound spectroscopy measurements were used to determine the shear elastic constant c' from 5 K to 300 K for x = 6.4, 7.2, 10.8, 14.6, 17.7, and 17.9. A clear distinction was observed between the temperature dependencies of lambda(100) for the A2 and D0(3) phases of Fe100-xGex. The elastic constant c' displays a monotonic decrease with concentration through the different phases (6 < x < 18) and at all temperatures. Experimental values of the tetragonal magnetoelastic coupling constant -b(1) at 81 K were remarkably consistent with theoretical values determined by density functional calculations at 0 K. |
