Abstract: Since measurement of magnetostriction is accompanied by measurement of magnetization, magnetostriction and magnetization are measured conventionally by separately prepared devices, with efforts for observing the same region of the sample. Measurement of the magnetostriction is difficult due to the difficulty of compensation and calibration. The value of magnetostriction coefficient in low temperature region cannot be correctly determined. A convenient method which can measure magnetostriction and magnetization simultaneously at the same region of the sample and at the same time is developed by combining the method of measurement of magnetostriction by X-ray diffraction and the method of measurement of magnetic X-ray diffraction. The observed X-ray diffraction intensity as a function of the magnetic field from the sample can be separated to symmetric component and asymmetric component, which contain signals proportional to the magnetostriction and magnetization, respectively.

Abstract: Since a measurement of a magnetostriction is accompanied by a measurement of a magnetization of a sample to be measured, the magnetostriction and the magnetization are measured by separately prepared devices, with efforts for observing the coextensive volumes of the sample. Measurements of the magnetostriction and the magnetization are difficult due to the difficulty of correction and calibration. The value of macroscopic external mode magnetostrictive coefficient cannot be correctly determined at low temperature regions. A convenient method which enables the measurement of the magnetostriction and the magnetization simultaneously at the coextensive volumes of the sample, is developed by combining the method of the measurement of the magnetostriction by an X-ray diffraction method an the method of the X-ray magnetic diffraction method.
