Abstract
A comparative study of the saturation magnetization, Curie temperature, and magnetocrystalline anisotropy in several rhombohedral and hexagonal Y‐Co compounds was done. The considered phases YCo3, Y2Co7, Y5Co19 (rhombohedrals), YCo5+z, and Y2Co17 (hexagonals) are all derived from the hexagonal CaCu5 unit. The variation of the magnetic properties in the different compounds was found to be strongly correlated to the cobalt content. In particular the Co sublattice anisotropy varies linearly with the Co content in the phases, while it seems to be not affected by structural changes (rhombohedral‐hexagonal). The highest anisotropy of Co was found in YCo5, every modification of the CaCu5 cell resulting in a weakening of the overall axial anisotropy. An evaluation of the strength of the Co anisotropy in the 2c, 3g, and dumbbell sites was done using a phenomenological model.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
