Abstract: Magneto-Thermal hysteresis is studied in polycrystalline gadolinium (Gd). The change of the sign of the first anisotropy constant Ku2 leads to easy cones of magnetization below the spin reorientation temperature (TSR = 235K-250 K). Cooling a polycrystalline gadolinium sample in a magnetic field through the spin reorientation temperature creates magnetic structures which persist to temperatures close to the Curie temperature, if these structures are not erased by going to fields larger than and opposite to the cooling field. A magneto-thermal protocol is applied to give some systematics to these complex processes.
