    Notes: Permanent magnets based on the compositions Pr15Fe79B6, Nd15Fe79B6, Pr15Fe62.5Co16Al1B5.5, and Nd15Fe62.5Co16Al1B5.5 have been fabricated employing conventional powder metallurgical processes. Proper heat treatment has been found to improve magnetic properties. For example, in magnets of composition Pr-Fe-Co-Al-B, the heat treatment optimized in this study improved Br and (BH)max by about 5% and 10%, respectively, in comparison with conventional heat treatment reported in the literature. The temperature coefficients of magnetic properties have also been improved through Co and Al substitutions.

    Notes: Element specific magnetic hysteresis (ESMH) loops have been used in conjunction with measured magnetoresistance curves to extract the coefficient of giant magnetoresistance (GMR), which is the maximum achievable value of the GMR independent of magnetic domain effects and incomplete moment alignment effects, for sputtered Fe/Cu/Co sandwiches on silicon substrates. Using the ESMH loops to calculate GMR curves, comparison with the measured GMR curves shows that the magnetization reversal process is best described by multidomain Ising behavior.

    Notes: We have made spin-valve structures of Permalloy/Cu/Co by sputtering or electron-beam deposition onto the antiferromagnetic oxide NiO. The oxides were made either by deposition of the metals and subsequent oxidation or by growing them in situ using reactive sputtering. The magnetic properties of the giant magnetoresistance structures were studied by magnetoresistance, vibrating sample magnetometry, and ferromagnetic resonance methods. The oxides were characterized by x-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy. We studied surface roughness and structure as functions of thickness and oxidation temperature and correlated the oxide properties with the magnetic performance. We found that the metal layer roughened during the postdeposition oxidation process and that the resulting oxide layers were very effective in pinning the direction of the magnetic moment of adjacent metal films. Coercive fields over 500 Oe were obtained for Co overlayers on NiO films but the exchange bias field was generally less than 100 Oe and was not strongly dependent on the roughness. The beneficial effects of this strong pinning were offset to some degree by higher switching fields required in spin-valve structures deposited over the Co. We also made reactively sputtered oxide antiferromagnetic films which had smoother surfaces than those made by postdeposition oxidation.

    Notes: The magnetization of the alloy DyFe1.5 was studied as a function of temperature from 50 to 300 K in a range of magnetic field up to 10 kOe. Metallographic studies showed the existence of a eutectic phase containing both DyFe2 and elemental Dy embedded in the DyFe2 matrix. The presence of elemental Dy was observed in the magnetization data through a cusp in the temperature dependence of the magnetization at 178 K and an increase of the magnetization starting at 130 K and continuing to 80 K. While the first feature occurs at precisely the Néel temperature of bulk Dy, the second contrasts with the jump at the Curie temperature of 89 K observed in low fields in bulk single-crystal Dy. The more gradual increase in magnetization observed in the DyFe1.5 alloy is attributed to variations in stress to which the Dy is subjected. The temperature dependence of the magnetic moment from 80 to 130 K is modeled as arising from a collection of Dy particles of varying Curie temperatures. This variation is in turn caused by the stress distribution. Curie temperature distributions are found for a range of magnetic fields and then are extrapolated to zero field in order to eliminate the effect of field. The calculations indicate that a significant amount of the Dy remains in the helimagnetic phase down to zero temperature.

    Notes: The nitrogenation process of the TbFe3 intermetallic compound was studied by heat treating the alloy between 573 and 873 K in a nitrogen atmosphere. The structural and magnetic properties of the nitrogenated samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), Mössbauer spectroscopy, and magnetic measurements. The magnetic moments of the nitrogenated samples were found to be a function of the annealing temperature and showed a minimum for the sample heat treated at 673 K. The XRD pattern of this sample (673 K) showed that the Bragg peaks of the 1-3 phase had completely disappeared and were replaced by a broad maximum indicating a breakdown of the TbFe3 structure into an amorphous phase. The room-temperature Mössbauer spectrum of the same sample consisted almost entirely of a quadrupole-split doublet plus a small amount of α-Fe and TbFe3. This doublet split into a broad spectrum upon cooling which is typical of amorphous rare-earth–transition-metal compounds. For samples heat treated at higher temperatures, the amount of α-Fe and TbN phases gradually increased. This nitrogenation process is unlike that of R2Fe17. In this study, nitrogen atoms do not go into the interstitial sites. Instead, they create a ferromagnetic (TC≈215 K) amorphous phase of Tb, Fe, and N which is stable over a wide temperature range.

    Notes: Rare-earth–iron alloys, R0.9Fe0.1, R0.72Fe0.28, and R0.42Fe0.58 (R=Tb0.6Dy0.4), containing the R/RFe2 eutectic composition were prepared by Bridgman and free-standing zone-melting techniques. Magnetization measurements were made in fields up to 800 kA/m between 55 and 300 K. A huge increase in magnetization below 210 K occurs as the R component becomes ordered. At low applied magnetic fields there is clear identification of both the ferromagnetic ordering temperature TC and the Néel spiral ordering temperature TN of R. (For Tb0.6Dy0.4, TC=165 K, TN=210 K.) Magnetization and magnetostriction measurements reveal very large magnetocrystalline anisotropies for both the R and the RFe2 components. Unexpectedly, at 77 K, were the rare-earth component of the eutectic system is ordered and the magnetostriction is large (λhγ(approximately-greater-than)0.6%), the magnetostriction is largest in the samples containing the largest amount of the RFe2 phase. Young's modulus measurements reveal the reduction in the stiffness with the addition of the softer rare earth to the stiff RFe2 compound.

    Notes: Al substitution effects on the magnetic properties of RCo5 (R=Y, Pr, Nd, and Sm) are studied on the basis of magnetic measurements for RCo5−xAlx with x less than 2. The Al substitution considerably decreases the Curie temperature, the Co-sublattice moment, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the R sublattice as well as of the Co sublattice. The Co-sublattice moments in RCo5−xAlx have a different value depending on their directions in the crystal; in addition the rare earth moments are considerably smaller than the values of their free trivalent ions. The decrease of Co-sublattice moment with increasing content of Al can be explained by the rigid band model, and the properties of rare earth sublattices (or atoms) mentioned above seem to be explained by the exchange field at the rare earth site which weakens with increasing Al content.

    Notes: Using micron-level photolithography, we have prepared a set of patterned multilayer samples which have the form [Co/Cu/NiFeCo/Cu]×10 and which permit perpendicular current transport through the structure. Based on vibrating sample magnetometry, the multilayer stacks show a loss of ≈2 A(ring) of magnetic material at each interface. The magnetoresistance was measured as a function of temperature, magnetic layer thickness, and element size and the ΔR/R values range up to 8% at 300 K and 18% at 10 K. The thickness dependent data are modeled using an extension of existing methods and can be fit using comparable resistivity, interface resistance, and spin asymmetry parameters. The magnetic fringe fields of the elements have an important effect on the observed R vs H curves. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The element specific magnetic hysteresis curves of Fe/Cu/Co trilayer structures can be used in conjunction with the measured magnetoresistance curves to extract the coefficient of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) independent of magnetic domain effects and incomplete alignment effects, allowing for a measure of the maximum attainable GMR for that trilayer. Information concerning the details of the trilayer switching can be extracted showing that sputtered polycrystalline films of Fe/Cu/Co deposited on Si switch their magnetization directions like multidomain Ising magnets.

    Notes: Magnetic and structural characteristics of RCo5−xAlx have been established for R=Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er, and Tm. All systems have the CaCu5 structure. Al and Co are randomly distributed over the Co-sublattice sites. Al-substitution decreases μCo and Tc and significantly alters magnetic anisotropy. Analysis of the magnetic anisotropy data shows that the Sm anisotropy in SmCo4Al is only 32% of that in SmCo5. In terms of the point charge model this requires that Al carry a positive charge. This is consistent with inferences drawn from the decreased Co moment accompanying Al substitution, which implies electron transfer from Al to Co. At room temperature, RCo4Al systems are uniaxial for R=Y, La, Ce, Pr, Sm, and Er, whereas for R=Nd and Dy the magnetization is at an angle with respect to the unique c axis. PrCo4Al, NdCo4Al, DyCo4Al, and TmCo4Al exhibit changes in anisotropy at about 165, 295, 420, and 84 K, respectively.
