Abstract

Structural and intrinsic magnetic characteristics of Tm2−x Dyx Fe14 B (for the entire range of composition) and Tm2 Fe14−x Cox B (for x up to 4) were investigated in detail between 4.2 K and their Curie temperatures. Progressive replacement of Tm by Dy enhances the anisotropy field HA markedly. This was evidenced from the expansion of the uniaxial anisotropy temperature range determined by constructing the magnetic-phase diagram. These results are found to be in very good agreement with the crystal field theory, employing the second-order terms. Addition of Co in the lattice improves the magnetic ordering temperature, but reduces the saturation magnetization.
