Abstract
MnBi particles are obtained from bulk MnBi using mechanochemical processing. The structure and magnetic properties of the MnBi particles are investigated by means of X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy and magnetometry. Surfactant assisted high energy ball milling results to the samples’ degradation even after one hour of milling. In the case of surfactant assisted low energy ball milling the increase of ball milling duration decreases the average particle size while the particles seem to be more separated. The saturation magnetization (Ms) was found to decrease for large milling times beginning from 61 Am2/kg, while the coercivity (μ0Hc) increases with the increase of ball milling duration up to 35min where it reaches 1.62T and thereafter it decreases.
