Effect of Fe substitution for Co in GdCo4B compound
The effect of Fe substitution for Co at small concentrations (x ≤ 0.1) on magnetic properties of Gd(Co1-xFex)4B compounds has been studied. Upon substitution, the compensation temperature is nearly constant, the Curie temperature changes slightly whereas the magnetic anisotropy is modified significantly. The Fe-concentration dependence of the magnetic anisotropy has been analysed by means of the individual site anisotropy (ISA) model. The magnetic phase diagram of the Gd(Co1-xFex)4 compounds is discussed. © 1995.
