摘要：

With the help of the Landau-Devonshire theory, in this paper we produce a good phenomenological description of the first-order magnetocrystalline transition that occurs in the Gd-5(SixGe1-x)(4) (0.24 < x < 0.5) alloys, and derive the magnetic phase diagram in a magnetic field versus temperature presentation. The description reproduces not only the field-induced magnetic transition and the temperature-induced transition, but also the magnetic hysteresis and the thermal hysteresis. Also, it gives the critical external field and the critical temperature for the magnetic hysteresis and the thermal hysteresis.
