Abstract

Stabilizing the 1-12 phase with cerium was possible using a special heat treatment. The structural and magnetic properties of Ce(Fe,M)12 and their nitrides, for M=Ti, V, Cr, Mo, etc., were investigated using x-ray-diffraction and magnetic measurements. The effects of interstitial nitrogen atoms on lattice parameters, Curie temperature, saturation magnetization, and magnetocrystalline anisotropy are reported. A profound change was found on the magnetocrystalline anisotropy. As an example, in the case of CeMo2Fe10Nx, the easy magnetization direction changes from c axis to the basal plane depending on the nitrogen content x.
