Electronic Structure and Spin Correlations in Novel Magnetic Structures

The research has advanced understanding of the interrelation between the crystal structure and magnetism in several materials which are or can be of interest for the development of improved, specialized or more cost-effective permanent magnets, as well as in selected materials for biomedical and catalytic applications. Fundamental aspects of ferromagnetism were investigated for Mn-Ge, Co-V and Co-Ge nanoclusters and for melt-spun Co-Sn alloys. New solution-chemistry synthesis methods were designed and tested for Fe-Pt, Fe3C and Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Off-stoichiometric Laves phases in the Fe-Si-Zr, Fe-Nb and Fe-Ta systems, as well as Fe5(Si,Ge)B2 compounds were assessed as new rare-earth-free permanent magnet materials; all except the Fe-Si-Zr Laves phases were found to be promising enough to merit a further exploration. A new method for manufacturing rare-earth-free magnets based on the MnBi compound was developed; by purposely avoiding oxidation-sensitive fine single-crystalline powders, the new method yields magnets with a 50% larger energy storage capacity. Studies of rare-earth-lean permanent-magnet materials (lean compared to the currently predominant Nd-Fe-B materials) were focused on the tetragonal compound of the ThMn12 structure type and included both discovery and characterization of new formulations and exploration of new fabrication/processing techniques. Among the most significant achievements were successful preparation of a vanadium-lean SmFe11V compound, the first observation of thermomechanically induced texture in nanocrystalline Sm(Fe,V)12 alloys, and a breakthrough reduction-diffusion synthesis of Sm1-xZrx(Fe0.8Co0.2)11.2Ti0.8 single-crystal particles with a coercivity as high as 12.6 kOe. Several experiments aimed at improvement of the Nd-Fe-B magnet have also been undertaken including a five-fold increase of the coercivity through a grain-boundary diffusion treatment of a Nd10Fe84B6 nanocrystalline alloy.
