Notes:
A Mössbauer study of Nd2Fe14−xGaxB and Nd2Fe11.5−xCo2.5GaxB confirmed that, in Nd2Fe14−xGaxB with x〈1, preferential occupation of the k2 site by Ga atoms occurs, and that when x≥1, Ga atoms preferentially occupy the k1 as well as j1 sites in addition to the k2 sites. In Nd2Fe11.5−xCo2.5GaxB, the Ga atoms preferentially occupy the j2 site, and also appear at the j1 sites when x≥1. Based on these findings, the different effect of Ga on the Curie temperature in these two compound series can be interpreted satisfactorily. The fact that in these compound series the a axis is little changed whereas the c axis remarkably increases with increasing Ga substitution can also be explained.
