In this study, a combination of induction melting and suction casting methods were used to produce a series of high-purity samples of

Applying the Bean–Rodbell model to the isothermal magnetization data, the temperature dependence of the critical field was found. Excluding the phase transition region, the model accurately describes the temperature and field dependence of magnetization above and below the magnetic transition, highlighting the magnetic moment change of the system due to the structural transformation.
