“…The qualitative shape of the MAE curve as function of Co concentration agrees with experiment for fullpotential calculations in the VCA. However, the quantitative discrepancy is severe as commonly observed when studying the MAE in the VCA [16][17][18]. Calculations in the atomic sphere approximation, treating disorder in the CPA, solve the problem of the quantitative disagreement with experiment on the Fe-rich side of the alloy but instead yield a qualitatively incorrect behavior on the Co-rich side.…”

We have explored, computationally and experimentally, the magnetic properties of (Fe 1−x Co x ) 2 B alloys. Calculations provide a good agreement with experiment in terms of the saturation magnetization and the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy with some difficulty in describing Co 2 B, for which it is found that both full potential effects and electron correlations treated within dynamical mean field theory are of importance for a correct description. The material exhibits a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy for a range of cobalt concentrations between x = 0.1 and x = 0.5. A simple model for the temperature dependence of magnetic anisotropy suggests that the complicated nonmonotonic behavior is mainly due to variations in the band structure as the exchange splitting is reduced by temperature. Using density functional theory based calculations we have explored the effect of substitutionally doping the transition metal sublattice by the whole range of 5d transition metals and found that doping by Re or W elements should significantly enhance the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy. Experimentally, W doping did not succeed in enhancing the magnetic anisotropy due to formation of other phases. On the other hand, doping by Ir and Re was successful and resulted in magnetic anisotropies that are in agreement with theoretical predictions. In particular, doping by 2.5 at. % of Re on the Fe/Co site shows a magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy which is increased by 50% compared to its parent (Fe 0.7 Co 0.3 ) 2 B compound, making this system interesting, for example, in the context of permanent magnet replacement materials or in other areas where a large magnetic anisotropy is of importance.

Rare earth free alloys are in focus of permanent magnet research since the accessibility of the elements needed for nowadays conventional magnets is limited. Tetragonally strained iron-cobalt (Fe-Co) has attracted large interest as promising candidate due to theoretical calculations. In experiments, however, the applied strain quickly relaxes with increasing film thickness and hampers stabilization of a strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy. In our study we show that already 2 at% of carbon substantially reduce the lattice relaxation leading to the formation of a spontaneously strained phase with 3 % tetragonal distortion. In these strained (Fe 0.4 Co 0.6 ) 0.98 C 0.02 films, a magnetocrystalline anisotropy above 0.4 MJ/m 3 is observed while the large polarization of 2.1 T is maintained. Compared to binary Fe-Co this is a remarkable improvement of the intrinsic magnetic properties. In this paper, we relate our experimental work to theoretical studies of strained Fe-Co-C and find a very good agreement.

“…7 In Fe 30 Co 70 nanowires, a naturally formed hard-magnetic oxide layer with a thickness of 3-4 nm, exchange coupled to a FeCo phase of dimension 40 nm, yields a 20% coercivity increase compared to shape-only anisotropy. 8 It is well-known that carbon doping yields a martensitic distortion of bcc Fe-Co. [9][10][11] Recently, it has been found that Mo doping induced the formation of the tetragonal structure for FeCo alloys, resulting in a magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant of 3.6 Mergs/cm 3 and a coercivity of 1.2 kOe for the Fe 8 CoMo alloy. 12 The challenge is to realize such changes in an alnico-like microstructure.…”

Coercivity and nanostructure of melt-spun Ti-Fe-Co-B-based alloys

Nanocrystalline Ti-Fe-Co-B-based alloys, prepared by melt spinning and subsequent annealing, have been characterized structurally and magnetically. X-ray diffraction and thermomagnetic measurements show that the ribbons consist of tetragonal Ti3(Fe,Co)5B2, FeCo-rich bcc, and NiAl-rich L21 phases; Ti3(Fe,Co)5B2, is a new substitutional alloy series whose end members Ti3Co5B2 and Ti3Fe5B2 have never been investigated magnetically and may not even exist, respectively. Two compositions are considered, namely Ti11+xFe37.5-0.5xCo37.5−0.5xB14 (x = 0, 4) and alnico-like Ti11Fe26Co26Ni10Al11Cu2B14, the latter also containing an L21-type alloy. The volume fraction of the Ti3(Fe,Co)5B2 phase increases with x, which leads to a coercivity increase from 221 Oe for x = 0 to 452 Oe for x = 4. Since the grains are nearly equiaxed, there is little or no shape anisotropy, and the coercivity is largely due to the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the tetragonal Ti3(Fe,Co)5B2 phase. The alloy containing Ni, Al, and Cu exhibits a magnetization of 10.6 kG and a remanence ratio of 0.59. Our results indicate that magnetocrystalline anisotropy can be introduced in alnico-like magnets, adding to shape anisotropy that may be induced by field annealing.
