摘要
Unexpected giant metamagnetic transitions consisting of a succession of extremely sharp magnetization steps separated by plateaus are reported at low temperature in LaFe12B6. Under certain combinations of the external parameters (temperature and magnetic field), the time dependence of the magnetization displays an unusual step-like feature. It is demonstrated that this giant spontaneous jump in magnetization takes place after a silent time and shows a striking resemblance with the phenomenon of an "incubation time" found in martensitic-like transformations.
