磁振子宏观效应以及热扰动场对反磁化的影响

热扰动导致的磁反转是越过能量势垒的不可逆反转,称为热助隧穿.本文研究Pr-Fe-B磁体热扰动导致的磁反转弛豫现象,反转磁矩与时间自然对数关系可表示为与能垒之间的关系,因此反磁化弛豫现象可用磁振子按能量的玻色统计分布率来解释,是磁振子宏观效应的体现.反磁化不可逆过程的临界尺寸为纳米级,与理论磁畴壁尺寸接近,证实热扰动反磁化经过磁畴壁形核去钉扎过程.在实空间反磁化耦合体积增大能减小磁振子隧穿的反磁化概率,热扰动场减小;热扰动后效场测量值与热扰动场计算值基本是一致的.温度升高,热扰动能量增大,由于耦合作用热扰动后效场有所减小,但热扰动后效场相对于矫顽力的作用增大.     

Thermal activation of magnetization in Pr_2Fe_(14)B ribbons

The aftereffect field of thermal activation,which corresponds to the fluctuation field of a domain wall,is investigated via specific measurements of the magnetization behavior in Pr2Fe14B nanocrystalline magnets.The thermal activation is a magnetization reversal arising from thermal fluctuation over an energy barrier to an equilibrate state.According to the magnetic viscosity and the field sweep rate dependence of the coercivity,the calculated values of the fluctuation field are lower than the aftereffect field and in a range between those of domain walls and individual grains.Based on these results,we propose that the magnetization reversal occurs in multiple ways involving grain activation and domain wall activation in thermal activation,and the thermal activation decreases the coercivity by~0.2 kOe in the Pr2Fe14B ribbons.     

Three-and two-dimensional calculations for the interface anisotropy dependence of magnetic properties of exchange-spring Nd2Fe(14)B/α-Fe multilayers with out-of-plane easy axes

Hysteresis loops,energy products and magnetic moment distributions of perpendicularly oriented Nd2Fe(14)B/α-Fe exchange-spring multilayers are studied systematically based on both three-dimensional(3D)and one-dimensional(1D)micromagnetic methods,focused on the influence of the interface anisotropy.The calculated results are carefully compared with each other.The interface anisotropy effect is very palpable on the nucleation,pinning and coercive fields when the soft layer is very thin.However,as the soft layer thickness increases,the pinning and coercive fields are almost unchanged with the increment of interface anisotropy though the nucleation field still monotonically rises.Negative interface anisotropy decreases the maximum energy products and increases slightly the angles between the magnetization and applied field.The magnetic moment distributions in the thickness direction at various applied fields demonstrate a progress of three-step magnetic reversal,i.e.,nucleation,evolution and irreversible motion of the domain wall.The above results calculated by two models are in good agreement with each other.Moreover,the in-plane magnetic moment orientations based on two models are different.The 3D calculation shows a progress of generation and disappearance of vortex state,however,the magnetization orientations within the film plane calculated by the 1D model are coherent.Simulation results suggest that negative interface anisotropy is necessarily avoided experimentally.     

Abnormal variation of magnetic properties with Ce content in(PrNdCe)_2Fe_(14)B sintered magnets prepared by dual alloy method

Resource-saving(PrNdCe)_2Fe_(14)B sintered magnets with nominal composition(PrNd)_(15-x)Ce_xFe_(77)B_8(x=0–10)were prepared using a dual alloy method by mixing(PrNd)_5Ce_(10)Fe_(77)B_8 with(PrNd)_(15)Fe_(77)B_8 powders. For Ce atomic percent of 1% and 2%, coercivity decreases dramatically. With further increase of Ce atomic percent, the coercivity increases, peaks at 6.38 kOe in(PrNd)_(11)Ce_4Fe_(77)B_8, and then declines gradually. The abnormal dependence of coercivity is likely related to the inhomogeneity of rare earth chemical composition in the intergranular phase, where Pr Nd concentration is strongly dependent on the additive amount of(PrNd)_5Ce_(10)Fe_(77)B_8 powders. In addition, for Ce atomic percent of 8%,7%, and 6% the coercivity is higher than that of magnets prepared by the conventional method, which shows the advantage of the dual alloy method in preparing high abundant rare earth magnets.     

稀土永磁体及复合磁体反磁化过程和矫顽力

稀土永磁体即使内秉性质相同,但矫顽力可能相差很大.本文以Pr-Fe-B磁体为例,从热激活反磁化即反磁化临界过程探讨决定矫顽力的关键因素.Pr-Fe-B晶粒表层缺陷区与晶粒内部耦合推动反磁化畴形核从而去钉扎,晶粒表层缺陷区的各向异性对克服晶粒内部势垒具有贡献,因此反磁化形核场和矫顽力大大降低.由于晶粒表层缺陷区与晶粒内部耦合,在反磁化临界过程磁畴壁尺寸稍大于理论尺寸.具有软、硬磁相结构的Pr-Fe-B复合磁体,软、硬磁相晶粒之间交换耦合作用也会增大反磁化畴壁尺寸.软、硬磁交换耦合的能量对克服硬磁相晶粒内部各向异性势垒也会有贡献,这将进一步降低磁体矫顽力.添加Ti,Nb高熔点金属,复合磁体矫顽力显著提高.分析认为,这不仅仅是磁体晶粒尺寸减小的缘故.热激活尺寸减小说明磁畴壁中包含的硬磁相晶粒表层缺陷区尺寸减小,硬磁相表面和两相界面各向异性对克服硬磁相晶粒内部势垒的贡献减小,反磁化所需外磁场增大.
