The magnetoelastic properties of laves-phase TbxHo0.9-xNd0.1Fe1.8Mn0.1 compounds: An in-situ Lorentz microscope study

Enhanced magnetoelastic performance in Pr/Mn-doped Laves phase (Tb,Ho)Fe2 compounds

“…Thereafter, the composite was placed under a magnetic field (H curing ∼ 12 kOe) for solidification. Thus, the magnetically oriented samples were prepared at RT [2,18]. To test the EMD [17], an XRD was performed on the sample surface perpendicular to H curing .…”

“…Indeed, the high anisotropy should be reduced, and simultaneously a large magnetostriction should be retained. Introducing other rare-earth elements (RE) to compensate the anisotropy of Tb 3+ , whilst maintaining the large magnetostriction, is one of the effective methods, and subsequently, the Tb-Dy-Fe alloys (known as Terfenol-D) and Tb-Ho-Fe * E-mail: liujinjun1@nbu.edu.cn alloys, have been developed and widely used for both sensing and actuation [1][2][3]. However, the raw materials, such as heavy RE metals (e.g.…”
