Abstract

Y2Fe14B0.5C0.5 has the same tetragonal structure as Y2Fe14B with space group P42/mnm. Magnetic properties of the Y2Fe14B0.5C0.5 compound have been studied using an extraction magnetometer with a maximum field of 6 T, in the temperature range from 1.5 to 300 K. By means of fitting the hard magnetization curves, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy constants K1, K2, and K3 were determined. It was found that although the magnetocrystalline anisotropy field (μ0Ha) increases abnormally with increasing temperature as in the case of Y2Fe14B, the dependence of anisotropy constants on temperature is quite different from that of Y2Fe14B. K1 and K3 decrease slightly with increasing temperature. K2 increases abnormally with increasing temperature, which contributes to the abnormal dependence of anisotropy field on temperature. In addition, the substitution of carbon for boron leads to a reduction of 3d-3d interaction and spontaneous magnetization. In contrast, uniaxial anisotropy is increased by the addition of carbon below room temperature.
