Introduction – What are Magnetic Materials? Magnetic materials are crystalline solids which below a certain temperature, known as the ordering temperature, display spontaneous order in their magnetic moments. Results • Enhanced thermal stability and saturation magnetization with Y substitution in Ce2Fe14B based permanent magnets • Discovered a new ferromagnetic phase transition at TC = 62.9 K in (Dy1/3Mo2/3)2AlC and validated the two previously reported low temperature magnetic phases Characterization of Magnetic Materials Raw high purity materials are melted together to synthesize a crystalline sample using an arc melter at Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL). Use high energy ball milling to form a hard/soft magnetic composite using Y substituted Ce2Fe14B. Finish structural characterization on γ- irradiated (RE1/3Mo2/3)2AlC (RE = Rare Earth) MAX samples.

Synthesis and characterization of properties of (Tb1/3Mo2/3)2AlC polycrystalline

When molecules, atoms, or ions are grouped in a highly ordered microscopic structure to form a crystal lattice that stretches in all directions, the result is a solid material known as a crystal or crystalline solid. They are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure to form a crystal lattice. The smallest group of particles in material that constitutes this repeating pattern is unit cell of the structure. The unit cell is a repeating unit formed by the vectors spanning the points of a lattice.

Fig: Rietveld Refinement of room temperature PXRD data for annealed Ce2Fe14B (left panel), (Y0.1Ce1.9)Fe14B (middle panel), and (Lu0.1Ce1.90)Fe14B (right panel) alloys. All annealed alloys plotted are composed primarily of Ce2Fe14B phase with small α-Fe impurities. Vertical blue ticks correspond to the position of the calculated Bragg peaks of all phases (from top to bottom, 2-14-1 and α-Fe). Fig: (Left Panel) Field dependent magnetization measurements on aligned powder with the magnetic field applied along the easy direction for annealed Ce2Fe14B and (YxCe2-x)Fe14B (x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) alloys. (Middle Panel) Field dependent magnetization measurements on aligned powder with the magnetic field applied along the hard direction for annealed Ce2Fe14B and (YxCe2-x)Fe14B (x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) alloys. (Right Panel) The saturation magnetization of Ce2Fe14B and (YxCe2-x)Fe14B (x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) alloys as determined from easy axis field dependent magnetization measurements.
