Abstract
The effect of cobalt substitution on spin reorientation phenomena in R 2Fe 14- x Co x B systems (R = Pr, Nd, Er) was studied by means of bulk magnetometry in the temperature range 4.2–1100 K. It was established that in the Nd-based system the introduction of cobalt resulted not only in a shift of the low temperature spin reorientation (cone to axis) but also triggered, for x ⩾ 10, an appearance of a second spin reorientation (axis to plane) at high temperature. In the Pr-based system, for x ⩾ 9.5, a high temperature spin reorientation (axis to plane) was also observed. Its dependence on Co content was determined. For the Er-based system, an increase of the spin reorientation temperature (plane to axis) was observed as more cobalt was introduced into that system. It was also established that the tetragonal single-phase materials in this system exist only up to x = 5. Temperature-composition diagrams are presented, indicating types of spin arrangements observed in the investigated systems.
