Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Magnetic materials are defined as materials with ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic ordering. In a broad sense, they also include weak magnetic and antiferromagnetic materials which can provide magnetism and a magnetic effect. Emerging fields such as renewable energy, robotics, biomedicine and new generation communication provide further applications of magnetic materials. Magnetic materials including hard and soft magnets, magnetocaloric materials, magnetic shape memory alloys and magnetorheological fluids have attracted more attention in recent years and will undergo rapid development in the near future.

This Special Issue, entitled “The Synthesis and Prospects of Magnetic Materials”, focuses on the synthesis, preparation, microstructure and properties of various crystalline magnetic materials. We welcome reviews and research articles on crystalline magnetic materials, magnetic simulation and machine learning of these materials, as well as electromagnetic simulation of magnetic devices such as motors, inductors and sensors. We also encourage the submission of articles related to novel magnetism-related properties.

The ThMn12-type SmFe12-based rare-earth permanent magnet has attracted widespread attention due to its excellent intrinsic magnetic properties and high-temperature stability. However, the challenge in realizing continuous non-magnetic or weakly magnetic grain boundary phases equilibrated with the SmFe12 main phase hinders the enhancement in extrinsic magnetic properties of the SmFe12-based permanent magnet, especially for the coercivity. In this work, by controlling the cooling rate, the uniform distribution of paramagnetic Fe2Ti phases at grain boundaries is achieved in the SmFe12-based alloy ribbon, resulting in a high coercivity of 7.95 kOe. This improvement is attributed to the elimination of the impurity phase within the SmFe12 main phase and the magnetic isolation effect of the grain boundary phase composed of paramagnetic Fe2Ti, which is directly observed by transmission electron microscopy and further confirmed by micromagnetic simulation. Moreover, first-principles calculations show that the V element can dope into Fe2Ti and facilitate the transition of its paramagnetic state at room temperature. This study provides new insights into constructing weakly magnetic grain boundary phases for SmFe12-based permanent magnets, offering a novel approach to enhance coercivity. Full article

Due to the rare earth supply shortage, ThMn12-type RFe12-based (R is the rare earth element) magnets with lean rare earth content are gaining more concern. Most ThMn12-type RFe12 structures are thermodynamically metastable and require doping of the stabilizing element Ti. However, the Ti-doping effects on the hard magnetic properties of RFe11Ti have not been thoroughly investigated. Herein, based on density functional theory calculations, we report the Ti-doping effects on the phase stability, intrinsic hard magnetic properties and electronic structures of RFe11Ti (R = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Y, Zr). Our results indicate that Ti-doping not only increases their phase stability, but also enhances the magnetic hardness of ground-state RFe12 phases. Particularly, it leads to the transition of CeFe11Ti and PrFe11Ti from easy-plane to easy-axis anisotropy. Charge density distributions demonstrate that Ti-doping breaks the original symmetry of the R-site crystal field, which alters the magnetic anisotropy of RFe11Ti. Projected densities of states reveal that the addition of Ti results in the shift of occupied and unoccupied f-electron energy levels of rare earth elements, affecting their magnetic exchange. This study provides an insight into regulating the hard magnetic properties of RFe12-based magnets by Ti-doping. Full article
