X-ray photoemission studies of rare earth hard magnets

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4428567
From 19th conference on magnetism and magnetic materials; Boston, Massachusetts, USA (13 Nov 1973). An attempt was made to probe the electronic properties of the RCo/sub 5/ compounds by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies of SmCo/sub 5/ and PrCo/sub 5/ and to relate the results to the properties o f the pure metals and to the picture developed to describe the magnetism of the compounds. Results indicate a valence band structure similar to that of Co metal; there is the suggestion that if there is charge flow it is off the rare-earth sites; there appears to be significant change in the 4f spectra from that of the pure rareearth metals; and there is a suggestion of f-- d hybridization.
