Structural imaging of mechanically alloyed remanence-enhanced Sm2Fe17N3/α-Fe
Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials 157-158, pp 79-80 (1996)
The nanostructure of mechanically alloyed Sm2Fe17N3/α-Fe mixtures was studied using high resolution SEM, TEM and AFM. The remanence and coercivity are presented as a function of Sm content together with SEM micrographs obtained by a delicate etching procedure. TEM examination shows that both phases have grains of similar sizes which are in the range 20-30 nm.
