Abstract
A series of NdDyFe/sub 17-x-y/Co/sub x/Si/sub y/ solid solutions with x = 2 and 3 and y=0.5,1.0,and 1.5 were prepared by induction melting stoichiometric amounts of high-purity elements. The postannealed samples consist of two phases belonging to the space groups R3 m and P6/sub 3//mmc. The lattice parameters and the unit cell volumes were calculated from the refinements of the magnetic and structural unit cells using the FULLPROF version of the Rietveld program. For a fixed content of Co, the maximum Curie temperatures (305/spl deg/C to 405/spl deg/C) were observed in samples with y=1 and having two phases, a disordered rhombohedral (DR) structure and a disordered hexagonal (DH) structure. An increase in the Curie temperature of 70/spl deg/C per atom of cobalt is observed in NdDyFe/sub 17-x-y/Co/sub x/Si/sub y/ with y=1 and x /spl les/ 3, suggesting that with a suitable choice of rare earths this DR phase may be a promising candidate for high-energy product permanent magnets. The magnetization versus temperature (M versus T) plots of the solid solutions, which consist of two phases, exhibit only a single magnetic ordering transition temperature.
