Abstract

The magnetic domain evolution behavior under external field stimuli of temperature and magnetic field in PrMn2Ge0.4Si1.6 compound is investigated using Lorentz transmission electron microscopy. A spontaneous 180° magnetic domain is observed at room temperature and it changes with temperature. Dynamic magnetization process is related to the rotation of magnetic moments, resulting in the transforming of magnetic domains from 180° type to a uniform ferromagnetic state with almost no pinning effects under the in-plane magnetic field at room temperature. X-ray powder diffraction is performed on PrMn2Ge0.4Si1.6 at different temperatures to study the temperature dependence of crystal structure and lattice parameter.
