(color online) Magnetic field dependence of the magnetostriction in the directions (a) parallel ( and (b) perpendicular ( ) to the applied fields. (c) Magnetic field dependence of the magnetostriction ( ) of Pr(Fe_1−xCo_x)_1.9 alloys. The inset shows the composition dependence of magnetostriction λ in low magnetic field range ( ).
