Popis: The effects of magnetic field on the shape evolution of ferromagnetic fcc Fe–Co particles in Cu–0.83 at.% Fe–1.37 at.% Co alloy single crystals were examined using magnetic anisotropy measurements. The Cu–Fe–Co single crystals were aged at 993 K for 2 h to 24 h under a magnetic field of 10 T parallel to either the [001] or [011] direction. The magnetic anisotropy was examined by measuring magnetic torque around the (100) plane. It was found that the fcc Fe–Co particles are elongated in the direction parallel to the magnetic field. Furthermore, the elongation along [001] is more remarkable than that along [011]. The results are explained quantitatively by considering the minimization of the sum of the interface energy, elastic strain energy and magnetostatic energy of spheroidal particles.
