Abstract

Using the methods of classical statistical mechanics, the field dependence of magnetization curves is calculated at room temperature for SmCo5, PrCo5 and YCo5. In addition, we discuss the dependence of the magnetization vector on the direction of the magnetic field, along and perpendicular to the easy-axis. We correlate the orientation of the magnetization vector, relative to a specific crystallographic axis, to the angular coordinates of the most probable location in a probability landscape of these anisotropic magnetic systems.
