The continuous and jumpwise components of the magnetic relaxation were analyzed in the (NdDy)(FeCo)B sintered magnets in the stationary magnetic field close to the coercive field. The jumpwise magnetic relaxation of the extremely low frequency (∼0.01–0.1 Hz) and a large average amplitude (∼0.2%) of the saturation magnetization were revealed. The 2%–3% Sm doping ions increase the continuous relaxation up to 2 times and decrease the magnetization probability and average jump size down to 1.5 times. The spectral power of the magnetization jumps corresponds to the white noise appearing due to the uncorrelated individual magnetization reversal of the ∼103 independent grains. The continuous relaxation is due to the domain wall motion. Magnetic force microscopy allows us to distinguish the domain walls shift and the reversal of the grains to estimate the energy and width of the domain walls. First order reversal curve analysis revealed the contribution of the 2-14-1 phase and isolated 1-4-1 phase inclusions and the effect of Sm doping on the distribution of the switching and interaction fields of these phases.
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.
