Formation of Fe3Pt phase in FePt-based nanocomposite magnets

چکیده
Atomic interdiffusion between FePt and Fe3O4 nanoparticles in annealed FePt-based nanocomposite magnets has been studied by means of structural and magnetic characterizations. The results show that the Fe3Pt phase is formed during the annealing only when the mass ratio x of Fe3O4/FePt is larger than 1/20. When x 1/20, only FePt single phase is formed. It is interesting to find that the coercivity of the annealed samples increases with a small addition of Fe3O4 before the formation of the Fe3Pt phase. This magnetic hardening behaviour indicates that the composition of the FePt phase can be further adjusted via the post annealing process. The characteristic of recoil loops and Henkel plots also give evidence for the transition from single-phase FePt magnets to nanocomposite magnets with the addition of Fe3O4.

Bulk FePt-based nanocomposite magnets with enhanced exchange coupling
High density bulk FePt/Fe3Pt nanocomposite magnets have been prepared by high-pressure warm compaction of chemically synthesized FePt and Fe3O4 nanoparticles. It is found that the density increases with the compaction pressure and temperature. Density of the bulk samples up to 95% theoretical value has been obtained while the nanostructured morphology is retained. It is also observed that a hig...

Exchange-spring nanocomposite permanent magnets have received a great deal of attention for their potential for improved the energy products. Predicted results, however, has been elusive. Optimal properties rely on a uniformly fine nanostructure. Particularly, the soft magnetic phase must be below approximately 10 nm to ensure complete exchange coupling. Inert gas condensation (IGC) is an ideal...

FePt single-layer and FePt–Fe multilayer thin films are prepared by magnetron sputtering. By varying the Pt content, FePt, Fe3Pt, or a mixture of FePt and Fe3Pt can be obtained in Fe–Pt single layers. In annealed FePt–Fe multilayers, the coercivities decrease with the introduction of Fe layers compared to FePt single layers, while the magnetization increases. The single-phase behavior of the hy...

In this paper, we report on the production of Fe cluster/FePt matrix nanocomposite permanent magnets. Monodispersed Fe clusters with sizes below 10 nm were formed by gas aggregation techniques. These Fe clusters were imbedded in an FePt matrix by alternate deposition from two sources. Specimens with a range of Fe cluster phase content from 0 to 30 vol% were produced by controlling deposition ti...

One of the grand challenges in the development of nanotechnology is how to synthesize and process “designed nano-structured” materials. An important example of these materials is the nanocomposite permanent magnets made of hard and soft phased magnetic nanoparticles located on a superlattice. Binary phase magnets, if they can be devised, could double the energy product of current single-phase m...
