“…This series of intermetallic compounds offers two main advantages as hard magnetic materials; first, a high iron content which yields a high magnetization and, second, a relatively high Curie temperature, especially for the titanium containing compounds. Hence, a good deal of attention has been devoted to these tetragonal compounds [5][6][7] and, because of its excellent properties, SmFe 11 Ti has been identified as potentially the most promising compound. [8][9][10] In general, the insertion of light elements, such as hydrogen, carbon, or nitrogen, into the structure of a rare-earth transition metal intermetallic compound has a dramatic and beneficial effect upon the compound's magnetic properties.…”
