Abstract

The thermal expansion measurements under several kinds of conditions have been carried out for Lu(Co0.90Ga0.10)2 Laves-phase compound. With decreasing temperature, the significant increase of the thermal expansion due to the spontaneous volume magnetostriction ωm(T) appears at low temperatures. Under magnetic fields, ωm(T) spreads over a wide range of temperature due to the induced ferromagnetic moment above TC. On the other hand, ωm(T) becomes smaller by applying hydrostatic pressure p, in addition to the significant decrease of TC. At p=1.1 GPa, ferromagnetic state disappears and the thermal expansion curve becomes close to that of paramagnetic Lu(Co0.91Ga0.09)2
