Measurements of the parallel M(parallel) and perpendicular M⊥ components of the magnetization to the applied magnetic field HA have been carried out for all directions in the (010) plane on single crystals of hexagonal NdNi5, TbNi5, and HoNi5. These measurements were performed using a steady magnetic field of 15 kOe, in the ferromagnetic phase down to 4 K. These kinds of experiments allow a detailed description of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy to be given. The polar dependencies of the M(parallel) and M⊥ isotherms have been explained using a microscopic single-ion crystal electric field (CEF) and a molecular-field approximation to describe the exchange interaction.
