Strong lattice relaxation associated to the diffusion rate of interstitial nitrogen reported in an earlier paper was taken into account in a determination of the excess expansivity of single crystal chromium near the antiferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition. An anomalous positive expansivity peak just below T
N is thought of being the result of released magnetomechanical strain. The observations support the pinning model of antiferromagnetic domains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
