Research abstract
The main goal of the proposed program is to develop Sm2Fe17Nx/Fe16N2 high performance bulk nanocomposite magnets with maximum energy product approaching 100 MGOe. The proposed study includes: (1) Development of Sm2Fe17Nx single-phase powder with superior magnetic properties; (2) Development of Ti-stabilized Fe16N2 nanoparticles; (3) Development of nanocrystalline composite hard magnetic materials by nanoscale precipitation; (4) Development of Sm2Fe17Nx/Fe16N2 composite core/shell structure by electroless deposition. We will investigate compaction techniques which will maintain the Sm2Fe17Nx and Ti-stabilized Fe16N2 phases and will not promote grain growth. We will also develop and study a model nanocomposite thin film composed of FeN nanoparticles embedded in a SmFeN matrix, which will help to establish parameters for bulk nanocomposite magnet development
