Description

Magnetic properties of SmFeAl with hexagonal structure were investigated by a superconducting quantum interference device from 4.2 to 300 K in different magnetic fields and different cooled processes. SmFeAl is a mictomagnetic phase showing different magnetic behaviors in the field-cooled (FC) process and zero-field-cooled process. The mictomagnetic transition temperature is about 80 K. In an FC sample, a shifted magnetic hysteresis cycle towards magnetization was observed below 80 K
