Description
Single crystals of the orthorhombic intermetallic NdCu2 have been used to measure the thermal expansion and longitudinal magnetostriction. Measurements were made parallel to the crystallographic b-direction in the temperature range 1.5-30 K and in magnetic fields up to 7 T. A comparison of the measurements with the results of a mean-field calculation indicate a negative magnetoelastic constant. A magnetic phase diagram of NdCu2 has been deduced from the anomalies observed in the dilatometric measurements. ((orig.))
