Title: Effect of Sb substitution on crystal structure, texture and hard magnetic properties of melt-spun MnBi alloys

Abstract

Melt-spun Mn50Bi50-xSbx alloys with x ≤ 5 were prepared at different solidification rates and characterized both in the as-spun state and after annealing. In the as-spun alloys, the Sb substitution leads to the formation of a metastable phase, similar to the binary "quenched high-temperature phase" but without the superstructure of the latter and exhibiting a different – increasing – temperature dependence of coercivity. The new nanocrystalline metastable phase is not only itself characterized by a high room-temperature coercivity (in excess of 20 kOe), but upon annealing it transforms into a high-coercivity (up to 13.5 kOe) "low-temperature" α phase. However, the advantage of obtaining a high coercivity without the otherwise required milling made possible by the Sb substitution is undermined by the absence of a local crystallographic texture in the melt-spun alloys. The best combination of the isotropic hard magnetic properties realized for the Mn55Bi43.5Sb1.5 composition is a remanence of 35.5 emu/g and a coercivity of 8.1 kOe. The annealed Sb-free Mn50Bi50 alloys did possess a local crystallographic alignment and, for high solidification rates, a moderate coercivity up to 5.6 kOe; however, they had an inadequate "rectangularity" in the demagnetization curve. The orthorhombic compound known as MnBi0.9Sb0.1 and described earlier asmore » antiferromagnetic was obtained in the annealed ribbons with x ≈ 5. The compound was found to order ferromagnetically between 200 K and ≈250 K and to exhibit a significant coercivity, 14.3 kOe at 50 K. Here, it is suggested that the MnBi0.9Sb0.1 may actually be a Sb-stabilized "new phase" observed earlier as metastable in the Bi–MnBi eutectic alloys.« less
