Abstract Initial curve, major and minor magnetostriction hysteresis loops (butter#y loops) as the functions of static magnetic "eld of the Co Cu Ni Fe O ferrite were investigated. The saturation magnetostriction for the "eld equal to 2500 A/m was negative and equal to !11.1;10\ and for the "eld of 540 A/m (equal to 3H ) was equal to !8.0;10\. Other minor magnetostriction hysteresis loops are presented. 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. Keywords: Major magnetostriction hysteresis loop; Minor magnetostriction hysteresis loops
The magnetic, piezomagnetic and magnetomechanical properties of the nickel-rich ferrites were investigated in the last 70 years, e.g., Refs. [1}8]. For experimental purposes the ferrite of chemical composition Co Cu Ni Fe O was prepared as frame-shaped cores (70 mm high, 30 mm wide and 15 mm thick) by conventional ceramic technique, for magnetic, magnetostrictive and magnetoelastic measurements [2]. The window dimensions were: height: 46 mm and width: 10 mm [2]. The density of the ferrite was equal to 5.25 Mg/m. The saturation induction of the sample was equal to 0.27 T, magnetic remanence 0.21 T, the coercivity H "180 A/m and initial permeability k "55. The j values have been measured as function of magnetic "eld H. The initial curve, major and minor magnetostriction hysteresis loops (butter#y loops) were investigated. The measurements have been made using very sensitive semiconducting strain gauges in conjunction with an AC Wheatstone bridge. The cores have been

placed in a vessel with oil. The measuring system made it possible to measure j (H) characteristics automatically using an XY recorder [2]. The j (H) have been measured at room temperature. The saturation magnetostriction for the "eld equal to 2500 A/m was negative and equal to !11.1;10\ and for the "eld 540 A/m (equal to 3H ) it was equal to !8.0;10\ (Fig. 1a). Other minor magnetostriction hysteresis loops are presented in Fig. 1b. The in#uence of maximum values of the static magnetic "eld loops on the maximum values of the magnetostriction and on the magnetostriction values at magnetic remanence is presented in Figs. 1}4. The major loop of magnetostriction after applying a magnetic "eld equal to 1470 A/m is presented in Fig. 1a. For lower magnetic "elds, the minor butter#y loops (Fig. 1b) are inside the major loop. Magnetostriction loops with constant amplitude versus inreversing magnetic "eld are presented in Fig. 2a and the magnetostriction curve after each of the magnetic "eld returning to zero is given in Fig. 1b. The di!erences between values of the magnetostriction obtained from the two methods (see Figs. 1 and 2a) are very small (Figs. 3 and 4) and somewhat lower after starting each from the remanence (Fig. 2b) than from the minima (Fig. 1b).

The results are comparable with the hysteresis loops of magnetic induction [8] and magnetostriction [9] and with the piezomagnetic and ultrasonic properties in other nickel-rich ferrites e.g. Ni}Co, Ni}Zn}Co and Ni}Co}Cu}Mn ferrites, e.g., Refs. [3}11]. The magnetomechanical properties (Villari e!ect) of these types of the ferrites are very interesting for technical applications [1]. The results are in good agreement with Sablik and Jiles' theory [12].
