Structural and magnetic characterization of the family of alloys with the general formula Nd0.4 Zr0.6 Fe10-xCoxSi2(x = 0 -3) and their melt-spun ribbons were carried out using X-ray diffraction and M€ossbauer spectroscopy. The ThMn12-type structure is obtained for all samples as the majority phase with a minority a-Fe(CoSi) phase(less than 5 wt%) as it was estimated by XRD for x = 1 and 2. The Curie temperature increases linearly with Co substitution from 561 K for x = 0 to 712 K for x = 3. The saturation magnetization decreases slightly from 130.5(x =1)to 129.1 A·m2/kg(x=3), while the anisotropy field is following the same trend.展开更多
