The temperature dependence of Young’s modulus has been measured for a series of Tb1−xDyxZn pseudobinary compounds with x ranging from 0 to 1. From the sharp dips in the modulus vs temperature data, the reorientation transition temperatures have been determined, and the magnetic phase diagram deduced. Magnetization measurements taken on the same samples show less pronounced features at the corresponding temperatures.
