“…Furthermore, the surfactant-assisted ball milling (SABM) method has been found efficiently in synthesis of single phase and textured nanostructured REPM compounds [4], however, the coercivity of that, especially for R-Fe-B (R¼ Nd, Pr) system, is very low [3,5,6]. In our previous work, the stoichiometric composition of Pr 12 Fe 82 B 6 nanoflakes with a coercivity of 3.9 kOe was obtained, which is the maximum coercivity of R 2 Fe 14 B (R¼Pr, Nd) nanoflakes or nanoparticles reported up to now [7].…”
