Microstructural observation and chemical composition analysis show that Sml xPrxCos compounds are composed of （Sin, Pr）Co （1：5） phase and （Sm, Pr）-rich grain boundary phase. XRD results show that all the Sml-xPrxCO5 compounds have a （Sm, Pr）lCo main phase with the hexagonal CaCus-type crystal structure and the （Sm, Pr）2 Co7 impurity phase. In addition, the detailed research shows that the lattice constants （a, c） and unit volume （V） are all enlarged with the increases in Pr con- tent. According to the magnetic measurements, as the Pr content increases to larger than 0.4, both the Curie tem- perature （Tc） and the anisotropy field （HA） of all the Pr- doped compounds decrease rapidly. Meanwhile, the mag- netization of Sml_xPr.Co5 compounds at applied field of 14 T （MI4 T） are observably improved with Pr doping content of x 〉 0.3. Among them, Smo.6Pro.4Co5 compound exhibits slightly lower HA and Tc, but much higher M14 T than those of the binary SmCos, indicating that doping of proper Pr content into SmCo5 compound can optimize the intrinsic magnetic properties. As a result, the optimal intrinsic magnetic properties of HA = 29.11 T,Tc = 989 K, and M14 T = 102.31 mA.m2.g-1 are obtained in Smo.6Pro.4C05 compound.展开更多
