Abstract
ABSTRACTThe magnetic properties of permanent magnetic nanocomposites are investigated both experimentally and by model calculations. Rare-earth transition-metal films and nanocomposite thin films containing a L10hard phase (PtFe) have been prepared by plasma sputtering and heat treatment. By choosing suitable heat-treatment processes a nearly ideal nanostructure and high energy products of up to about 50 MGOe have been achieved for the Fe-Pt system. The behavior of the nanocomposites is discussed in terms of a model applicable to nearly ideal magnets, where there are no pronounced shoulders in the hysteresis loops. Analytic expressions for M(H) are obtained for a number of cases, and it is discussed how the loops depend on the micromagnetic parameters of the involved phases. A novel aspect of magnetic nanostructures is that very small magnetic grains exhibit very large energy products, even if they are intrinsically soft-magnetic.
