Ambient air unstable oxygen-deficient face-centered cubic NdOx phases in sintered NdFeB magnets
The rapid ambient air (20 ± 3 °C, <55 % RH) oxidation and dramatic volume expansion of some Nd-rich phases have been identified in a large-area and clean sintered NdFeB slab. Quasi-in-situ studies combining a focused ion/electron dual beam system (FIB/SEM) and a scanning/transmission electron microscope (S/TEM) have revealed both uniform and non-uniform oxidation in oxygen-deficient face-centered cubic (fcc) NdOx phases. After 5 min of exposure to ambient air, the fcc (Nd + Pr)O0.47 oxidized, developing a porous amorphous oxidation layer over a hundred nanometers thick that expanded from the surface. The inhomogeneous distribution of oxygen in a fcc NdOx grain induced non-uniform oxidation, with the low oxygen content region preferentially oxidized in ambient air, resulting in an amorphous transition. After several months of exposure to ambient air, the initially amorphous oxidation products transformed to hexagonal close-packed Nd(OH)3. The electron beam irradiation-induced phase transition studies suggest that the amorphous transition of oxygen-deficient fcc NdOx during ambient air oxidation is driven by a reaction with oxygen rather than water vapor, as no water molecule decomposition was detected.
期刊介绍:
Materials Characterization features original articles and state-of-the-art reviews on theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials.
The Journal focuses on all characterization techniques, including all forms of microscopy (light, electron, acoustic, etc.,) and analysis (especially microanalysis and surface analytical techniques). Developments in both this wide range of techniques and their application to the quantification of the microstructure of materials are essential facets of the Journal.
The Journal provides the Materials Scientist/Engineer with up-to-date information on many types of materials with an underlying theme of explaining the behavior of materials using novel approaches. Materials covered by the journal include:
Metals & Alloys
Ceramics
Nanomaterials
Biomedical materials
Optical materials
Composites
Natural Materials.
