Abstract

The structure, magnetic properties, and magnetostriction of Pr(Fe1.95B0.05)1.93 alloys prepared by annealing its precursor amorphous ribbons under high pressure were investigated. It was found that Pr(Fe1.95B0.05)1.93 single cubic Laves phase could be obtained only when the pressure is up to 3 GPa. The average grain size about 20 nm is found in the sample synthesized under 6 GPa. A large linear magnetostriction of 541 ppm at 3 kOe is observed in the Pr(Fe1.95B0.05)1.93 compound synthesized under 6 GPa, which is 25% larger than that under 3 GPa. The present work offers an effective method to obtain bulk nanocrystalline magnetostrictive compounds.
