Epitaxial strain and interface effects on the magnetoelastic behaviour of Dy/Ho and Dy/Lu superlattices

The basal plane magnetoelastic stress, Bγ,2, of Dy 16/Ho22, Dy14/Lu30 and Dy 21/Lu11 (0001) superlattices is investigated. For Dy 16/Ho22 we obtain Bγ,2 (12 T, 0 K) = 0.4GPa, while for Dy21/Lu11 and Dy21/Lu 11 it amounts 0.33 and 0.9 GPa, respectively. In the first case, the value obtained is explai...
