Materials Data on Co3B by Materials Project

Co3B is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Co1+ sites. In the first Co1+ site, Co1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent B3- atoms. There are two shorter (2.05 Å) and one longer (2.27 Å) Co–B bond lengths. In the second Co1+ site, Co1+ is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent B3- atoms. There are one shorter (2.02 Å) and one longer (2.03 Å) Co–B bond lengths. B3- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight Co1+ atoms.

Microstructural and magnetic characterization of rapidly solidified and annealed Pt-Co-B alloys

Significant increases in intrinsic coercivity (Hic) of Pt-Co alloys have been obtained by the addition of boron and the application of rapid solidification processing. After rapid solidification by double anvil splat quenching with subsequent annealing at 650 C for 30 min, an alloy of Pt42Co45B13 exhibits an Hic as high as 14 kOe. Annealing of the Pt-Co-B influences the L1(0) superlattice structure and grain size of the matrix, the crystal structure and size of Co-boride precipitate, and the distribution of magnetic domain walls. A microstructural analysis shows that the maximum H(ic) occurs when Co borides, having the Co3B structure, are within the single magnetic domain size. The magnetic hardening mechanism in Pt-Co-B is believed to be a combination of inhibited magnetic domain nucleation and difficult reverse magnetic domain growth caused by the interaction of the magnetically anisotropic Co borides with the L1(0) Pt-Co matrix.
