Materials Data on PrCu(WO4)2 by Materials Project

PrCu(WO4)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pr3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.65 Å. There are two inequivalent W6+ sites. In the first W6+ site, W6+ is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of W–O bond distances ranging from 1.84–2.18 Å. In the second W6+ site, W6+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of W–O bond distances ranging from 1.79–2.33 Å. Cu1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.49 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Pr3+, one W6+, and one Cu1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Pr3+, one W6+, and one Cu1+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Pr3+ and two W6+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Pr3+ and one W6+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pr3+ and one W6+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three W6+ and one Cu1+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Pr3+, one W6+, and one Cu1+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Pr3+ and two W6+ atoms.

Development of Dy-free Nd-Fe-B-based sintered magnet through grain boundary engineering using Pr-Cu alloys

For this study, Dy-free sintered magnets were fabricated by mixing Nd-Fe-B powder with various amounts of Pr-Cu powder followed by the common procedures for making Nd-Fe-B based sintered magnets. With the Pr-Cu addition increasing from 0 to 10 wt.%, the obtained magnets’ H cj increases from the original 14.5 kOe to 18.6 kOe. The highest (BH) max achieved was 35.0 MGOe with 7.5 wt.% PrCu. The distribution of the Pr and Cu elements was primarily at grain boundary and triple junctions, leading to a reduced coupling among grains, thus an enhanced H cj .
