Abstract
The effects of Ta doping on the magnetic properties, temperature stabilities, phase constituents, intergranular exchange interactions, and microstructures of (Nd0.8Ce0.2)13.5Fe80.5−xTaxB6 (x = 0–1.5) nanoribbons are investigated in this paper. It is found that Ta doping increased the coercivity of the alloys, while the remanence remained nearly unchanged. The temperature stability of the alloys improved significantly as the absolute value of temperature coefficient of coercivity β enhanced from 0.48%/K for Ta-free alloy to 0.38%/K for the alloys with 0.3–1.5 at.% Ta addition. The lattice constants (a, c), unit cell volume, and phase transition temperatures (Tsr, TC) of the alloys changed by adding Ta into the alloys. Comprehensive best magnetic properties of Hcj = 16.0 kOe, Br = 7.65 kG, and (BH)max = 12.60 MGOe are obtained in (Nd0.8Ce0.2)13.5Fe79.6Ta0.9B6 ribbon. The improvement in magnetic properties is mainly attributed to refined and uniform microstructure of the Ta-doped alloys.
