Abstract

We proposed a technique to observe magnetostrictive coefficients of a single crystal specimen with X-ray diffraction. An angle between a direction of crystallographic orientation and a direction of magnetic field could be estimated with two kinds of diffraction peaks which were found with an X-ray four-circle goniometer. The magnetostriction was measured by a shift of Bragg angle. This technique was suitable for a case to observe the magnetostrictive coefficient which varied as a function of the magnetic field direction. We applied the technique to a single crystal specimen of nickel and showed dependences of the magnetostriction on the magnetic field strength and its direction around an axis of easy magnetization at room temperature.
