摘要
Hysteresis in the intensity of elastic neutron scattering from the incommensurate Bragg peak in the spiral phase of holmium is studied as temperature is cycled from above the Neel temperature, TN=132.2 K, to various low temperatures, T0. The nature of the hysteresis is different according to whether T0<TL or T 0>TL, where TL approximately=100 K is the lock-in transition temperature at which the magnetic structure is supercommensurate.
