  • Measurement and interpretation of anisotropic ac susceptibility.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated a spin reorientation transition driven by the combined anisotropy fields.
    • Observed anisotropic ac susceptibility consistent with a single-domain model.
    • Found that anisotropy constants vary with spontaneous magnetization (M^2 and M^4).

    Conclusions:

    • The interplay of anisotropy fields dictates spin reorientation and magnetic susceptibility.
    • Anisotropy weakening near the transition point has potential technological applications.
    • Findings support the use of simple single-domain models for describing these magnetic phenomena.
