摘要: Abstract SmCo7-based compounds are prototypical rare-earth based hard magnetic materials that the backbone of numerous devices and applications. We have found by doping SmCo7 phase with Niobium (e.g. SmCo6.7Nb0.3), enhanced coercivity being measured. Using a combination microstructural compositional characterization techniques ab initio calculations, we find Nb-doping stabilizes nanocrystalline nature material residing at 2e site structure, decreases average grain size, substantially increases magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant (K) from 1.25 × 107 erg/cm3 for to 1.40 × 107 erg/cm3 SmCo6.7Nb0.3). A significant enhancement in Nb is attributed increased K reduced size.
