Holmarc's Model No:HO-ED-INT-06M, Magnetostriction with Michelson Interferometer uses two mirrors in a Michelson arrangement to obtain the interference pattern. Due to the magnetostrictive effect, one of the mirrors is shifted by variation in the magnetic field applied to the sample, and the shift in interference pattern is observed.
Ferromagnetic substances undergo so-called magnetic distortions, i.e, they exhibit lengthening or shortening parallel to the direction of magnetization. Such changes are termed positive or negative magnetostriction. In crystal anisotropy , magnetostriction is also ascribable to the spin-orbit mutual potential energy, as this is a function of direction of magnetization and the interatomic distances. Due to magnetostriction, which corresponds to a spontaneous distortion of the lattice, a Ferro magnet can reduce its total anisotropic and elastic energy.
Experiment
Magnetostriction is a property of ferromagnetic materials that causes them to change their shape or dimensions during the process of magnetization.
The alteration in length Δl is obtained from the number of circular fringe changes; in the process the separation per circular fringe change alters by λ/2.
Δl = n. λ / 2
λ is the wavelength of laser used.
