Temperature modulation studies of the magnetic susceptibility of polycrystalline dysprosium are compared with measurements of minor loop temperature hysteresis of susceptibility in both the ferromagnetic and the spiral spin antiferromagnetic regions. The effects of temperature hysteresis upon susceptibility in the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic regions, and the intermediate region which links them, are examined.Temperaturmodulationsuntersuchungen der magnetischen Suszeptibilitlit von polykristallinem Dysprosium werden mit Messungen der kleineren Temperatur-Hystereseschleifen der Suszeptibilitat sowohl in ferromagnetischen als auch im antiferromagnetischen Spiral-Spin-Bereich verglichen. Die Einfliisse der Temperaturhysterese auf die Suszeptibilitiit im ferromagnetischen und antiferroma.gnetischen Bereich und dem Zwischenbereich, der beide verbindet, werden untersucht.Recently we reported ac susceptibility and transient enhancement (TE) studies of polycrystalline gadolinium [4, 51, dysprosium [6] and of a terbium single crystal [7]. T E measurements, wherein a second ac (or pulsed dc) field is applied a t afrequency differing from the primary, was shown to be a sensitive indicator of the presence of domain wall pinning with the enhanced susceptibility being caused by the freeing of the walls by the second field [5]. For gadolinium, T E studies indicate the nucleation of the ferromagnetic walls a t the Curie temperature, T,, and their presence a t lower t,emperatures. For terbium and dysprosiuni the TE studies indicate not only the presence of ferromagnetic domain walls below T, but also the formation, via an interl) Duntroon, ACT 2600 New South Wales, Australia. z, P. 0.
