Abstract
Magnetization measurements on Nd(Fe, M)12Cy (M=Ti, V, Mo) with ThMn12-type structure have revealed well developed first order magnetization processes (FOMPs) when an external field is applied perpendicular to the c axis. The FOMPs depend on carbon concentration, temperature, and the type of M element. The FOMPs appear at a certain carbon concentration and at temperatures below 150–100 K. The FOMP fields of NdFe12−xVxCy are independent of the V content in the range x=1.25–2.0, which is due to the small change of the anisotropy field within this range. No FOMP has been found in the nitrides of the same parent alloys. The evaluation of the crystal field (CF) parameters shows that the higher-order CF parameters of the Nd ions play a key role in producing the observed type-II FOMP. The temperature dependence of the FOMPs is due to the thermal evolution of the anisotropy constants Ki (i=1,2,3) of the carbides.
