Description

A new series of compounds Er(Fe1-xCox)11.35Nb0.65 were synthesized. For x≤0.4, the element Nb can stabilize the ThMn12-type compounds. X-ray diffraction results show that the lattice parameters a and c decrease with the substitution of Co for Fe atoms. With increasing Co content, the Curie temperature increases from Tc=507 K for x=0 to Tc=904 K for x=0.4. Values of the saturation magnetization at 5 K and 300 K are reported. (orig.)
