Abstract
This paper focuses on the determination of the influence of V on the stability, magnetic properties, and features of phase transitions in Mn55-xA42+xV3 alloys (x = 0, 2, and 4), both in the cast and rapidly quenched states. It has been shown that vanadium decreases the stability of the ferromagnetic τ-phase. The feasibility of directly producing the τ-phase through rapid quenching has been confirmed by achieving a high proportion of the τ-phase, approximately 90 vol%, in the Mn53Al44V3 as-quenched alloy. Additionally, the Curie temperature of this alloy has been determined to exhibit hysteresis during heating and subsequent cooling. Based on these findings, it was suggested that Mn53Al44V3 undergoes a first-order magnetic phase transformation. Based on the experimental data, a Mn-Al-V phase diagram for alloys with a vanadium concentration of 3% and a manganese concentration of 51–55% has been proposed, and a diagram of the dependence of the phase composition in rapidly quenched ribbons on the composition of Mn55-xA42+xV3 has been constructed.
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.
