Abstract
Magnetic properties of nanocrystalline hard magnetic alloys such as coercivity and maximum energy product are strongly depended on microstructure and interactions between grains. There are a lot of advanced experimental techniques for microstructure characterization but the analysis of intergrain interactions is still challenging. One of the wide-spread methods for doing that is plotting δM(H). This work is aimed to elucidate how different factors effect δM(H) plots for high-anisotropy nanocrystalline alloys. Specifically, changes of δM(H) plots caused by both intergrain exchange and magnetostatic interactions, grain size dispersion, and demagnetization factor are analyzed systematically using macrospin-based simulations. It is demonstrated that all these factors should be considered for a reliable evaluation of exchange coupling in alloys. A concept of such analysis is presented and applied to rapidly quenched Nd-FeCo-B alloy.
