Magnetic Cluster Expansion Model for High-Temperature Magnetic Properties of Iron and Iron-Chromium alloys

Hard magnetic properties of melt-spun Mn-Al-C alloys

Structural and magnetic characterization of Mnx−yAl100−x−yC2y (x = {50, 55}; y = {0, 1}) melt-spun ribbons is reported. To obtain the metastable ferromagnetic τ-phase, rapidly solidified alloys were annealed either in a vacuum furnace at 823 K or directly in the vibrating sample magnetometer under applied magnetic field. Optimal magnetic properties were demonstrated by Mn54Al44C2 samples proved...

Synthesis of Samarium-Cobalt Sub-micron Fibers and Their Excellent Hard Magnetic Properties

High-throughput synthesis of Samarium-Cobalt sub-micron fibers with controlled composition and dimension was demonstrated by combining electrospinning and reduction-diffusion processes. The composition of fibers was readily varied (8 < Sm < 20 at.%) by adjusting precursor composition whereas the diameter of fibers was precisely controlled by varying electrospinning parameters (e.g., applied vol...

Magnetic Properties of Platinum Metal Alloys

A number of the papers presented at the International Conference on Magnetism held at the University of Nottingham in September dealt with alloys of the platinum metals. The proceedings will be published shortly by the Institute of Physics and the Physical Society. Papers describing neutron diffraction studies demonstrated the powerfulness of some of the recently developed techniques. Thus G. G...

Structural properties of magnetic Heusler alloys

Magnetically driven actuator materials, such as the ternary and intermetallic Heusler alloys with composition X2YM, are studied within the density-functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the electronic exchange and correlation. The geometrical and electronic structures for the magnetic L21 structure are calculated. The structures and magnetic moments at equ...
