However, the mechanisms involved are not yet completely understood and different nitrogen absorption behaviors and stability ranges have been observed for different substitutions [4]. We studied the hydrogenation and nitrogenation behavior of NdFellTi, NdFelonVl,z5 and NdFelasMo1.5 at room temperature starting pressures between 1 bar and 30 bar by differential scanning calorimetry @SC) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The hydrogenation behavior is an important parameter for the HDDR process and was also studied by temperature pressure analysis (TPA). Fig. 1 shows DSC traces of a NdFelo.JMol,5 powder sample (particle size < ISpm) heated up to 740T with 5 Wmin in a pure nitrogen atmosphere. At 1 bar starting pressure, one dominant exothermic peak is observed at 4WC, which, according to the results of XRD, can be attributed to the interstitial modification. A smaller peak at a temperature of 664°C indicates the decomposition reanion of the NdFelo.5Mol sNY phase with ThMn12-type structure into a mixture of a-Fe and an amorphous phase. When the starting pressure is raised to 5 bar, the fust peak shifts to a temperature of 449OC, and the second exothermic peak becomes more important, now appearing at €&Soc. Both peaks appear at even lower temperatures if the pressure IS further increased to 10 bar and 30 bar. Fig. 2 shows the XRD diagrams of the samples after the DSC run Fig. Za shows the pattern of the parent compound. High scattering intensities result from a-Fe and an amorphous phase when the N2 gas pressure in the DSC is 1 bar, but the decomposition reaction is incomplete and a residue of the ThMnlz-type structure is left (b). No intensities orighting fiom NdN were found When the N2gas pressure is raised, the decomposition reaction into a-Fe and an amorphous phase becomes complete (c-e). In both compounds NdFellTi and N~F~Io.RVI,ZS, the decomposition reaction of the ThMno-type structure into a-Fe and an amorphous phase also o c w s , but at slsnificantly lower temperatures (551°C and 607°C at I bar and 527T and 567°C at 30 bar, respectively). Additionaly, in these compounds the decomposition reaction is complete at a pressure of 1 bar. The interstitial modification and the decomposition reaction are irreversible in the case of N. For H, both reactions are reversible. Mer the hydrogen induced disproportionation process, a recombination of the ThMnn-type structure was successfully performed. Fig. 3 shows the number of H atoms per formula unit during a heat treatment in HZ atmosphere at a pressure of 1 bar for the three alloys under ipvestigation. The increase above 600T indicates the disproportionation process. In the case of NdFeloJMols this reaction is not completed at 86OOC.

The recording and the signal dccay characteristics are compared with those of CoCr Pl longitudinal media with dfferenl thicknesses(20, 16. Sum). The normalized roll-off curyes %oE that the recording resolution is 2€-30% higher with the perpendicular media(thiclmcss-2Snm). The medium SIN at 300kFCI is in the order: CaCrPt(L,Rnrn) > CoCrTa(P.2Snm) or CoCrPt(L,lbnm) > CoCrPt(L,Xnm) > CoCrPt(P.25nm). Here L and P denote longitudinal and perpendicular, respectively. The recorded signal decay characteristics measured at m m temperature for 40 and 400 kFCI recordings arc wmpared in Fig. 1. At 400 kFCI, the longitudinal media showed more than lO%/l@ s. o l signal dmp when the rewrding layer was thinner than I6nm.

(Here, Ks is the crystal anisotropy 01 the antiferromagnetic film, and V i s the volume of the crystal grain.

As the critical thickness for CrAl is thick, it is necessary to assume d-nD (n: cocilicienl) for lrMn with thin critical thickness. If these models are suitable, it is thought that T. increases when the grain size of IrMn layer grows lager, while H,,,dccrcascs.

Interesting point of the third magnetic field is that well-defined linear-gradient distributions occur in three orthogonal directions, one of which direction is along the line connecting the two dipoles.
