Magnetism of Less Common Cobalt-Rich Alloys

چکیده
Alternative permanent-magnet materials with intermediate performance, such as K1 , are investigated experimentally. Our focus is on the structural and magnetic properties of bulk YCo5-xFex and on rare-earth-free transition-metal alloys such as TMxCo100-x (TM = Zr, Hf). YCo5-xFex alloys (x = 0 to 0.75), which crystallize in the hexagonal CaCu5-type structure, exhibit an improved of anisotropy and magnetization as x increases from 0 to 0.75, but the anisotropy increase is much less pronounced than recent theoretical predictions. ZrxCo100-x and HfxCo100-x exhibit reasonable room-temperature hard-magnetic properties, such as coercivities of 0.10 to 0.28 T and magnetizations of 0.60 to 0.94 T.

Fermi surfaces and phase stability of Ba(Fe1â‹TMxMx)2As2 (M=Co,Ni,Cu,Zn)
BaFe2As2 with transition-metal doping exhibits a variety of rich phenomena from the coupling of structure, magnetism, and superconductivity. Using density functional theory, we systematically compare the Fermi surfaces (FSs), formation energies (ΔEf), and densities of states (DOSs) of electron-doped Ba(Fe1−xMx)2As2 with M={Co,Ni,Cu,Zn} in tetragonal (I4/mmm) and orthorhombic (Fmmm) structures i...
متن کاملMagneto-Structural Properties of Ni2MnGa Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloy in Magnetic Fields
The purpose of this review was to investigate the correlation between magnetism and crystallographic structures as it relates to the martensite transformation of Ni2MnGa type alloys, which undergo martensite transformation below the Curie temperature. In particular, this paper focused on the physical properties in magnetic fields. Recent researches show that the martensite starting temperature ...
متن کاملSize and Shape Control Synthesis of Iron Oxide–Based Nanoparticles: Current Status and Future Possibility
Magnetic phenomena at the atomic scale were discovered in the early twentieth century, whereas the discovery of the first known magnetic material (Fe3O4) revolutionized the field of magnetism. The magnetic properties of a material depend on temperature, the applied magnetic field, and pressure. A change in these variables will result in the existence of two or more forms of magnetism. Ferroand ...
متن کاملFormation , structure and magnetism of the g - ( Fe , M ) 23 C 6 ( M 1⁄4 Cr , Ni ) phases : A fi rst - principles study
The g-(Fe,M)23C6 phases constitute an important class of iron carbides. They occur both as precipitates in steels and iron alloys, thereby increasing their strength, and as common minerals in meteorites and in iron-rich parts of the Earth's mantle. Here we investigate the composition-dependent relative stability of these phases and the role of magnetism therein. The g-(Fe,M)23C6 phases have min...
متن کاملMagnetic structure of Co1ÀxMnx alloys
Co12xMnx thin films epitaxially grown on GaAs~001! have been studied using reflection high-energy electron diffraction, x-ray diffraction, and the magneto-optical Kerr effect. The result shows that Co-rich films are body-centered cubic and ferromagnetic, and Mn-rich ones are face-centered cubic and antiferromagnetic. However, the film structure and magnetism at x;0.5 show strongly thickness-dep...
