Spin reorientation process in Er2Fe14C magnetic material (original) (raw)
2010, Journal of Alloys and Compounds
The Er2Fe14C intermetallic compound has been synthesized and studied by 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The spin reorientation phenomenon was investigated in this compound in the temperature range 80–330K by narrow step temperature scanning in the neighborhood of the reorientation temperature 316K. Spin arrangement in this compound was determined. Experimental Mössbauer spectra were analyzed by fitting six

Spin reorientation phenomena in Er2-xRxFe14B (R = Gd, Th) - Mössbauer and calorymetric study
Nukleonika
The Er 2−x Gd x Fe 14 B (x = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5) and Er 2−x Th x Fe 14 B (x = 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) polycrystalline compounds have been investigated with 57 Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A comparison of results related to spin reorientation phenomena obtained for Gd-and Th-substituted compounds is presented in this paper. Spin reorientation phenomena (changes from planar to axial spin arrangements) have been studied extensively by a narrow step temperature scanning in the neighbourhood of the spin reorientation temperature, T SR. From the analysis of Mössbauer spectra, it was deduced that in the region of transition each subspectrum was split into two Zeeman sextets, which were characterised by different hyperfine magnetic fields and quadrupole splittings. A consistent way of fitting the spectra in the wide range of temperatures was proposed. The composition and temperature dependencies of hyperfine interaction parameters and subspectra contributions were derived from fits and the transition temperatures were determined for all the compounds studied. DSC studies proved that the spin reorientations were accompanied by thermal effects for all compositions of the Gd-and for x = 0.5 of the Th-series. Transformation enthalpy and T SR were determined from these studies and the two-stage character of transition was confirmed. Magnetic spin arrangement diagrams for R = Th and Gd series were constructed and compared using combined data obtained with both methods.
Mössbauer effect evidence of spin reorientation in (Er 1 − x Ce x ) 2Fe 14B intermetallic compounds

in (Er,_,Ce,),Fe,,B system, originating from competition between the magnetic anisotropies of the erbium and iron sublattices, was observed by the 57Fe MGssbauer spectroscopy below room temperature. The spin transition temperature is lowered by non-magnetic dilution within the rare earth crystal sublattice, caused by substitution of cerium for erbium. There is evidence that the process proceeds not at a discrete temperature but in a wide temperature range. The discrete values of the "Fe hypetie interaction parameters, derived from MGssbauer absorption spectra, are consistent with localized interactions of iron atoms with their nearest neighbours. It was found that substitution of cerium for erbium slightly reduces hyperflne magnetic fields at iron sites and it only has a minute influence on the values of the isomer shifts and quadrupole interactions.

Two isostructural series of polycrystalline compounds: Er 2−x Y x Fe 14 B and Er 2−x Ce x Fe 14 B have been studied by 57 Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy in the temperature range 80−370 K. The spin reorientation phenomenon (a transition from basal plane to axial easy magnetisation direction) has been studied extensively by a narrow step temperature scanning in the vicinity of the transition. Using the procedure of subtracting the Mössbauer spectra taken for the same compound at different temperatures, it was possible to follow the influence of transition on the shape of spectra. From this procedure it was concluded that in the region of transition each subspectrum splits into two Zeeman sextets, which are characterised by different hyperfine magnetic fields and quadrupole splittings. The consistent way of describing the Mössbauer spectra was proposed. The spin reorientation temperatures have been established for all compositions and compared with the values obtained from theoretical calculations of spin orientation angle based on phenomenological model. The spin arrangement diagrams have been constructed.
