Structural Domain Switching by Magnetic Fields in RAl${}_3$C${}_3$ (R=Rare Earth)

T. Matsumura, Y. Hayashi, S. Takai +3

Hexagonal-to-orthorhombic structural transitions in RAl${}_3$C${}_3$ have been studied by X-ray diffraction for R=Yb, Tm, Er, Dy, and Lu. We report how orthorhombic domains are control…
