Abstract
To achieve smaller particle sizes of Sm₂Fe₁₇N₃ magnetic powders, crushing is often applied to the obtained powders. However, this process introduces more angular edges and increases the risk of oxidation. In this study, nearly spherical Sm₂(Fe,Mn)₁₇N₃ magnetic powders with controllable particle sizes and strong oxidation resistance were prepared eliminating the need for crushing, using a combined ultrasonic spray pyrolysis-reduction diffusion method. The results show that appropriate Mn doping facilitates particle size refinement. Mn doping of Fe increased lattice expansion without altering crystal structure. The optimal coercivity occurred at a 5 at.% Mn doping. Furthermore, as the Mn doping level increased, the proportion of adsorbed oxygen decreased, slowing the occurrence of further oxidation reactions and impeding the transformation of metallic elements into higher-valence oxides, thereby enhancing oxidation resistance. The addition of Mn improved the thermal stability and magnetic properties of Sm2Fe17N3 magnets, offering a promising method for producing high-performance permanent magnets.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
