Effect of praseodymium and cobalt substitution on magnetic properties and structures in La(Fe_(1–x)Si_x)_(13) compounds

Magnetic properties and structures in La1-zPrz(Fe0.895–xCoxSi0.105)13 (x=0.07, 0.08; z=0, 0.2, 0.4) compounds were investigated. When Pr and Co substituted for La and Fe, the Curie temperature of the compounds was adjusted to around room temperature. The magnetic phase transition was driven from first-order to second-order due to Co substitution. As a second-order phase transition material, the MCE of La0.6Pr0.4(Fe0.825Co0.07Si0.105)13, whose relative cooling power was 175 J/kg under a field change of 2 T, ...

Enhanced magnetostrictive properties of lightly Pr-doped Fe_(83)Ga_(17) alloys

Fe_(83)Ga_(17)Pr_x alloys,where x=0,0.2,0.4,0.6 and 1.0,were prepared by a non-consumable vacuum arc melting technique under an inert argon gas atmosphere.The crystal structure and surface morphologies of the alloys were studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM),respectively.Local compositional variations were measured by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDXS).The magnetostriction coefficients of the alloys were measured by means of a differential resistive strain sensor.The magnetism of the sample was measured by a vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM).The results show that the parent Fe_(83)Ga_(17) alloy consists of a single A2 phase of bcc symmetry,whereas the Pr doped Fe_(83)Ga_(17) alloys are composed of the A2 phase of bcc structure and a small volume fraction of PrGa2 as a secondary phase.Most importantly,with increasing x,the magnetostriction coefficient of the Fe_(83)Ga_(17)Pr_x alloys first increases reaching a maximum saturation magnetostriction coefficient of192 ppm for x=0.6 at a magnetic field strength of 486 kA/m,then decreased.This maximum represents a 400% increase over the parent alloy with a mere 0.6 at% Pr doping.     

Magnetic and magnetostrictive properties of amorphous TbFe/FeAl multilayer thin film

Exchange coupling multilayer thin films, which combined giant magnetostriction and soft magnetic properties, were of growing interest for applications. The TbFe/FeAl multilayer thin films were prepared by dc magnetron sputtering onto glass substrates. The microstructure, magnetic, and magnetostrictive properties of TbFe/FeAl multilayer thin film was investigated at different annealing temperatures. The results indicated that the soft magnetic and magnetostrictive properties for TbFe/FeAl multilayer thin film compared with TbFe single layer film were obviously improved. In comparison with the intrinsic coercivity JHc of 59.2 kA/m for TbFe single layer film, the intrinsic coercivity JHc for TbFe/FeAl multilayer thin films rapidly dropped to 29.6 kA/m. After optimal annealing (350 ℃×60 min), magnetic properties of Hs=96 kA/m and JHc=16 kA/m were obtained, and magnetostrictive coefficient could reach to 574×10-6 under an external magnetic field of 400 kA·m-1 for the TbFe/FeAl multilayer thin film.

Enhancement of terbium efficiency by gallium and copper co-doping in (Pr,Nd)-Fe-B sintered magnets

It is well known that Tb substitution for (Pr, Nd) in (Pr, Nd)-Fe-B based sintered magnetic materials is an effective way to increase intrinsic coercivity, but it is not quite clear whether the increment depends on the different matrix phases with various doping ingredient or not, which is essential to develop high quality magnets with high coercivity more efficiently and effectively with economic consumption of expensive Tb and other costly heavy rare earths. In this paper, we investigated the efficiency of Tb substitution for magnetic property in (Pr, Nd)-Fe-B sintered permanent magnets by co-doping Ga and Cu elements. It is shown that Ga and Cu co-doping can effectively improve the efficiency of Tb substitution to increase the thermal stability and the coercivity. The intrinsic coercivity increases up to 549 and 987 kA/m respectively by 1.5 wt% and 3.0 wt% Tb substitution in Ga and Cu co-doped magnets while the intrinsic coercivity increases up to only 334 and 613 kA/m respectively by the same amounts of Tb substitution in non-Ga and low-Cu magnets. In other words, it demonstrates that there is about 329–366 kA/m linear equivalent enhancement of intrinsic coercivity by 1.0 wt% Tb substitution for (Pr, Nd) in Ga and Cu co-doped magnets. The temperature coefficients of both intrinsic coercivity β and remanence α at 20–150 °C by 3.0 wt% Tb substitution for the magnets with Ga and Cu co-doping are −0.47%/K and −0.109%/K respectively, and in contrast those values are −0.52%/K and −0.116%/K respectively for the non-Ga and low-Cu magnets. It is the principal reason for more efficient enhancement of magnetic property by Tb substitution in the Ga and Cu co-doped magnets in which Tb atoms are expelled from triple junction phases (TJPs) to penetrate into the grain boundary phases (GB phases) and thus modify the grain boundary. It is prospected that the efficiency of Tb substitution would rely on different matrix phases with various doping constituents.     

Magnetocaloric effect of(Tb_(1-x)Ce_x)Co_2 alloys in low magnetic field

The phases in alloys(Tb1-xCex)Co2 with x=0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4 and 0.5 were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis,and the magnetocaloric effect for x=0-0.4 was studied by magnetization measurement.The samples were almost single phase with MgCu2-type cubic structure.The magnetization decreased with the increase of Ce.The Curie temperatures(Tc) of Tb1-xCexCo2 alloys with x from 0.1 to 0.4 were 180,165,160 and 152 K,respectively.For x=0.5 in the range from 100 K to 230 K,the point of magnetic transition was n...     

Rare Earth Doping Effects on Properties of Ceria-Zirconia Solid Solution

Ce0.6Zr0.3RE0.1O2(RE=Y, La, Pr, Tb)solid solutions were prepared by co-precipitation technique and characterized by a series of methods. XRD and FT-Raman results show that Ce0.6Zr0.3RE0.1O2 has cubic fluorite structure. The different dopant ion radii bring different effect on the cell parameter of Ce0.6Zr0.3RE0.1O2. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results show that the binding energy of Ce3d, Zr3d and O1s for Ce0.6Zr0.3RE0.1O2 rises compared with that for Ce0.6Zr0.4O2, indicating that dopant elements change chemistry environment of solid solutions which is available to improve redox performance. Compared with Pd/Ce0.6Zr0.4O2, doping Y and La does not change air/fuel (A/F) characteristic of TWCs, but doping Pr and Tb widens A/F operating window and makes HC, CO and NO have higher conversion. The light-off temperature of Pd/Ce0.6Zr0.3La0.1O2 is corresponding to that of Pd/Ce0.6Zr0.4O2. However, the light-off temperatures of Pd/Ce0.6Zr0.3M0.1O2 (M=Y, Pr, Tb) are lower than that of Pd/Ce0.6Zr0.4O2, which keep much lower after high temperature treatments. Among Pd/Ce0.6Zr0.3RE0.1O2, Pd/Ce0.6Zr0.3Tb0.1O2 represents wider A/F operating window, higher conversion, lower light-off temperature and better high-temperature resistance.     

Synthesis of Iron-Based Laves Phase Containing Praseodymium Magnetostrictive Materials

The synthesis and magnetostriction of PrxTb1-x.Fe2, PrxTb1-x Fe2BO2 and PrxTb1-x（Fe0.6Co0.4）2 alloys were investigated in this study. The addition of boron or cobalt atom in PrxTb1-xFe2 could effectively prevent the formation of non-cubic phases, and Pr concentration limit was successfully increased from 0.2 to 0.4. X-ray step scanning for the PrxTb1-xFe2BO2 and PrxTb1-x（Fe0.6Co0.4）2 alloys showed that PrFe2 possessed a large spontaneous magnetostriction λ1111.     

微量稀土元素Tb、La掺杂对Fe-Al合金结构和磁致伸缩性能的影响

为了研究微量稀土元素Tb和La掺杂对Fe81Al19合金结构和磁致伸缩性能的影响及影响机制,采用真空电弧熔炼法制备了Fe81Al19、Fe81Al19La0.1和Fe81Al19Tb0.1三种铸态合金。用X射线衍射仪(XRD)和扫描电镜联合能谱仪(SEM/EDS)分析了合金的微结构。用振动样品磁强计(VSM)和磁致伸缩测量仪测试了合金的磁性能和磁致伸缩系数。结果表明,Fe81Al19合金由单一的bcc结构A2相组成,而掺杂稀土后的Fe81Al19Tb0.1和Fe81Al19La0.1合金均由bcc结构的A2主相和少量富稀土相组成。稀土Tb和La的掺杂使Fe81Al19合金沿<100>晶向择优取向,且Fe81Al19Tb0.1合金择优取向更加明显。此外,三种合金的磁化功大小排序为:Fe81Al19Tb0.1> Fe81Al19La0.1> Fe81Al19。表明稀土元素掺杂导致Fe-Al合金具有更大的磁晶各向异性,且Tb的掺杂效果更加明显。磁致伸缩系数测试表明,与Fe81Al19合金相比,稀土掺杂合金的磁致伸缩系数明显增大,而且Fe81Al19Tb0.1合金的磁致伸缩系数增大的更加明显,大约是Fe81Al19合金的3.2倍,为86×10^-6。稀土掺杂合金磁致伸缩系数增大的原因主要源于掺杂稀土使Fe-Al合金沿<100>晶向择优取向和稀土导致合金具有高磁晶各向异性。

Phase structure and magnetocaloric effect of (Tb1-xDyx)Co2 alloys with x=0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 were investigated using X-ray diffraction analysis, differential thermal analysis, and magnetization measurement. The samples were single phase with cubic MgCu2- type structure; with the increase of Dy content, Tc decreased from 240 K (TbCo2) to 130 K (DyCo2), and the maximum magnetic entropy change |ΔSM,max| increased from 3.133 to 8.176 J/kg-K under low magnetic field of 0-2 T. The Arrott plot and the change of |ΔSM,max| showed that magnetic phase transition from second order to first order occurred with the increase of Dy content between x=0.6 and 0.8.

Effect of Co substitution and annealing treatment on the formation, magnetic properties and microstructure of (NdOyTb)12.3(FeZrNbCu)81.7CoxB6(x=0-15) ribbons prepared by rapid quenching and subsequent annealing was systematically investi-gated by means of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Phase analysis revealed single-phase material. The remanence polarization Jr and maximum en-ergy product (BH)max increased with increasing x from 0 to 12 and then decreased for x=lS. The intrinsic coercivity Hci of (NdDyTb)12.3 (FeZrNbCU)81.7-xCoxB6 ribbons optimally processed decreased from 1308.7 kA/m for x=0 to 817.4 kA/m for x=15. Optimum magnetic properties with Jr=1.041 T, Hci=944.9 kA/m and (BH)max=155.1 kJ/m3 were achieved by annealing melt-spun ribbon (x=-12) at 675℃ for 10 min. There was no significant influence of Co substitution on microstructure.

Effect of Terbium addition on the coercivity of the sintered NdFeB magnets

The effects of Tb addition on the microstructure and magnetic properties of the NdFeB magnets prepared by HD method were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and BH magnetometers.The results of the microstructure showed that both the Tb-doped and undoped permanent magnets were composed mostly of Tetragonal phase Nd2Fe14B(space group P42/mnm) and a trace amount of Nd-rich phase.Accordingly,addition of Tb led to a decrease of the pole density factor of(004),(006) and(008) crystal plane of the Nd2Fe14B phase calculated by Horta formula,but the coercivity of the magnets increased from 2038 kA/m up to 2302 kA/m as a consequence of Tb addition.The study of the Hc(T)/Ms(T) versus/Ms(T) behavior showed that the nucleation was the dominating mechanism for the magnetization reversal in both sintered magnets,and the microstructural parameters of αk and Neff were obtained also.The Kronmüller-plot showed an increase of the αk responsible for an increase of the coercivity.     

Technology of melting REM–Fe–Co–B alloys for thermally stable magnets

A technology of making REM–Fe–Co–B (REM = rare-earth metal) alloys for thermally stable magnets is developed. This technology ensures a stable chemical composition (REM content deviation of ±1.0 wt % from the calculated value, Co and B content deviation of ±0.5 wt %) and a low impurity content (Al or Ni ≤ 0.2 wt %, [O] ≤ 0.1 wt %). This technology makes it possible to make Pr–Dy–Fe–Co–B alloys and more complex compositions with additional REM, e.g., gadolinium. Fe–Pr and Fe–Dy master alloys are chosen and melted, and the possibility of using them to make Pr–Dy–Fe–Co–B alloys is studied.
