Magnetization process in holmium : Easy axis spin reorientation induced by the magnetostrictive basal plane distortion

We report on the change of the easy axis direction in holmium, from the a to the b axis, under the application of a magnetic field in the basal plane. This spin reorientation is observed by measuring the magnetic torque in Ho(n)/Lu(15) superlattices (n and 15 are the number of atomic planes in the H...
