Investigation into the monotonic magnetostriction and magnetic breakdown in cadmium

Author

Abstract

"Observations of the monotonic magnetostriction of cadmium at 4.2 K and in fields of 65 kilogauss have been made. The angular dependence of an extremal point (H_m) in the monotonic magnetostriction is found to follow inverse cosine behavior. The magnitude of H_m (27 kG) for fields parallel to [0001] is in fair agreement with the onset of γ_1/3 from the breakdown of the trifoliate orbit, γ. The range of observation of h_m coincides with the reported range of the trifoliate orbit. A "klink" in the monotonic magnetostriction is demonstrated. The "klink" field, H_k, is constant in value at 23 kilogauss to 60° from the c axis in a {101̄0} plane"--Abstract, page ii.
