Abstract
The SmFe12-based magnets came into recent research focus for its high intrinsic magnetic properties and low cost in raw materials. To achieve high coercivity, the microstructure of the SmFe12−xVx (1.3 ≤ x ≤ 2) alloys were optimized by controlling the V-substitution to Fe in the samples. We found that when x in SmFe12−xVx is 1.8 or higher, the meta-stable ThMn12 phase can be effectively stabilized in the Sm-Fe-V ternary alloys. The coercivity of SmFe12−xVx alloys increases with increasing x. A coercivity up to 772 kA/m was achieved in SmFe10V2 alloys. The Curie temperature of SmFe12−xVx decreases from 637 K (x = 1.3) to 570 K (x = 2) with increasing V concentration, owing to reduced Fe-Fe interactions. The effects of V content and processing parameters on the microstructure of Sm-Fe-V alloys unveiled in this work provide insight into the optimization of the magnetic performance of SmFe12-based magnets.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials provides an important forum for the disclosure and discussion of original contributions covering the whole spectrum of topics, from basic magnetism to the technology and applications of magnetic materials. The journal encourages greater interaction between the basic and applied sub-disciplines of magnetism with comprehensive review articles, in addition to full-length contributions. In addition, other categories of contributions are welcome, including Critical Focused issues, Current Perspectives and Outreach to the General Public.
Main Categories:
Full-length articles:
Technically original research documents that report results of value to the communities that comprise the journal audience. The link between chemical, structural and microstructural properties on the one hand and magnetic properties on the other hand are encouraged.
In addition to general topics covering all areas of magnetism and magnetic materials, the full-length articles also include three sub-sections, focusing on Nanomagnetism, Spintronics and Applications.
The sub-section on Nanomagnetism contains articles on magnetic nanoparticles, nanowires, thin films, 2D materials and other nanoscale magnetic materials and their applications.
The sub-section on Spintronics contains articles on magnetoresistance, magnetoimpedance, magneto-optical phenomena, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), and other topics related to spin current control and magneto-transport phenomena. The sub-section on Applications display papers that focus on applications of magnetic materials. The applications need to show a connection to magnetism.
Review articles:
Review articles organize, clarify, and summarize existing major works in the areas covered by the Journal and provide comprehensive citations to the full spectrum of relevant literature.
