Low-temperature anomaly of the magnetization in alloys (Pr,Dy,M)2(Fe,Co)14B (M = Gd, Sm, Nd)

详细

It has been found that temperature dependences of the saturation magnetization of sintered hard magnetic (Pr,Dy,M)₂(Fe,Co)₁₄B (M = Gd, Sm, Nd) alloys demonstrate an increase at a temperature lower than a critical temperature (150 K for Sm and Nd and 70 K for Gd). An additive of copper does not influence the critical temperature. It has been assumed that there is a low-temperature phase in which cobalt is replaced with boron that diffuses from the (Pr,Dy,Gd)(Fe,Co)₄B phase to the near-surface region of grains of the main magnetic (Pr,Dy,Gd)₂(Fe,Co)₁₄B phase.
