Microstructural Investigation of RE3(Fe.V) 29 (RE = Nd, Tb) Magnetic Materials
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
The microstructure of V stabilized RE3(Fe,V)29 (RE=Nd,Tb) has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The investigated samples were prepared by arc melting and subsequent annealing above 910°C. X-ray diffraction confirms that the samples can be indexed based on a monoclinic Nd3(Fe,Ti)29-type structure (3:29) with A2/m space group. Our TEM investigation confirms that Nd3(Fe,V)29 contains usually grains with 3:29 structure and A 2/m space group. In addition grains with rhombohedral Th2Zn17 structure are observed regularly. The Tb3(FeV)29 alloy consists also of grains with monoclinic Nd3(Fe,Ti)29-type structure and contains a high density of planer defects like crystallographic twins or antiphase boundaries. Twinning occurs preferably on (402) of the monoclinic 3:29 structure. No tetragonal RE(Fe,V)12 phase or Fe is found.
