The novel compounds Nd3Fe29−xTx (T=V and Cr) have been successfully synthesized. Their x-ray patterns can be indexed with a monoclinic symmetry and the A2/m space group. The Curie temperatures of Nd3Fe29−xTx are 455 and 413 K for T=V and Cr, the saturation magnetization at 4.2 K and room temperature are 54.7 and 46.8 μB/f.u. for T=V and 49.9 and 32.2 μB/f.u. for T=Cr, and the anisotropy fields at 4.2 K and room temperature are 12.8 and 2.4 T for T=V and 9.1 and 1.2 T for T=Cr, respectively. The spin reorientations of the easy magnetization direction of Nd3Fe29−xTx are observed at around 230 K for T=V and 135 K for T=Cr, respectively. After nitrogenation the relative volume expansion was about 6%, Curie temperature of each nitride increased about 50%, and the transition temperature Tsr of the spin reorientations of the nitride also increased 145 K for T=V and 250 K for T=Cr, respectively, compared with its parent compound. Nitrogenation resulted in remarkable improvements in the saturation magnetization and anisotropy fields at 4.2 K and room temperature. Magnetohistory effects for Nd3Fe29−xTx and Nd3Fe29−xTxN4 (T=V and Cr) in a low field have been observed. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
