Field-induced canting of magnetic moments in GdCo at finite temperature: first-principles calculations and high-field measurements.

We present calculations and experimental measurements of the temperature-dependent magnetization of a single crystal of GdCo in magnetic fields of order 60 T. At zero temperature the calculations, based on density-functional theory in the disordered-local-moment picture, predict a field-induced transition from an antiferromagnetic to a canted alignment of Gd and Co moments at 46.1 T.
