摘要
We performed temperature-dependent 3D neutron-depolarisation measurements on an ErCrO(4) powder sample to study the ferromagnetic order below T(C)similar or equal to 15 K. From the determinant of the depolarisation matrix, the domain size is calculated as a function of temperature. It is discussed in terms of the applied magnetic field and field history.
