Nd2Fe14B permanent magnets with different load lines were irradiated with 20 MeV protons at temperatures between 300 and 15 K, and the flux loss was measured as a function of the irradiation temperature. The results show that the magnetic flux loss depends drastically on temperature and on the shape of the sample. A new theoretical model which explains the observed temperature dependence of irradiation effects is introduced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
