Description:
We report the fabrication of a set of new rare-earth-free magnetic compounds, which form the Fe 3 Co 3 Ti 2 -type hexagonal structure with P -6 m 2 symmetry. Neutron powder diffraction shows a significant Fe/Co anti-site mixing in the Fe 3 Co 3 Ti 2 structure, which has a strong effect on the magnetocrystalline anisotropy as revealed by first-principle calculations. Increasing substitution of Fe atoms for Co in the Fe 3 Co 3 Ti 2 lattice leads to the formation of Fe 4 Co 2 Ti 2 , Fe 5 CoTi, and Fe 6 Ti 2 with significantly improved permanent-magnet properties. A high magnetic anisotropy (13.0 Mergs/cm 3 ) and saturation magnetic polarization (11.4 kG) are achieved at 10 K by altering the atomic arrangements and decreasing Fe/Co occupancy disorder.
