In this paper, the effect of Ba2+ ions A-site doping LaFeO3 on structure, magnetic properties and microwave absorption properties was investigated by the sol-gel method. According to the TEM and FullProf refinement results, the structure of LaFeO3 changes from orthogonal (SG: Pnma) to cubic (SG: Pm-3m) when the Ba doping amount is x = 0.4. The SEM image shows that the particles size tends to decrease with the increase of Ba content. The production of weak ferromagnetism indicates that Ba doping has a significant effect on the magnetic properties of LaFeO3. The Neel temperature (TN) decreases significantly with the increase of Ba doping amount. An appropriate amount of Ba doping can effectively increase the dielectric and magnetic loss of LaFeO3 ceramics powders. The increase permittivity (e′) may have been attributed to the hopping spin of the electrons between the Fe3+ and Fe4+ ions with the Ba2+ ions doping. The minimum reflection loss (RL) of La0.9Ba0.1FeO3 at 6.72 GHz reached –30.04 dB, its effective bandwidth (RL ≤ –10 dB) is 2.1 GHz, and the matching thickness is only 3.2 mm. These results indicate that Ba doping can effectively control the microwave absorption properties of LaFeO3, especially in the C-band.

New energy vehicles and offshore wind power industries have a high demand for sintered Nd–Fe–B magnets with high intrinsic coercivity and high corrosion resistance. In this study, the magnetic properties, anticorrosion properties, and microstructure of Nd–Fe–B sintered magnets with the intergranular addition of low-melting-point eutectic Tb68Ni32 alloy powders were investigated. The aim is to determine if the addition of Tb68Ni32 could improve these properties. A low melting-point eutectic alloy Tb68Ni32 powders was prepared as a grain boundary additive and blended with the master alloy powders prior to sintering. The coercivity of the resultant magnets gradually increases from 1468 to 2151 kA/m by adding increasing amounts of Tb68Ni32. At the same time, the remanence first increases and then slightly decreases. After studying the microstructure and elemental composition of the Tb68Ni32 added magnets, it is found that the significant increase in coercivity and the negligible reduction in remanence is due to densification, improved grain orientation, a uniform and continuous boundary phase distribution, as well as the generation of a (Nd, Pr, Tb)2Fe14B “core–shell” structure surrounding the main-phase grain. Moreover, the corrosion resistance of the magnet is greatly improved owing to the enhancement of electrochemical stability, as well as the optimization of the distribution and morphology of the intergranular phase.

The phase equilibrium relationship of the Bi2O3–Fe2O3–Nd2O3 system at 973 K was established by means of X-ray diffraction. The phase diagram contains 9 single-phase regions, 5 two-phase regions, 7 three-phase regions and no ternary compounds. There are three solid solutions of Bi1.446Nd0.554O3-type, R3c-BiFeO3 and Pnma-NdFeO3. The lattice parameters of the Nd1-x Bi x O3 compound increase with increasing Bi2O3 content, but the XRD peaks shift to lower 2θ values when x is 0–0.75. The effect of different mass percentages of two phases, NdFeO3 and Bi25FeO40, on the performance of the sample is explored. When the mass percentage of the second phase Bi25FeO40 increases, the magnetic properties of the samples decrease instead. The sample with a mass ratio of 59 % Bi25FeO40 shows the best adsorption performance. The effective bandwidths of the samples are 2.12 GHz, 2.76 GHz and 2.25 GHz when the mass percentage of the second phase is 17 wt.%, 59 wt.%, and 77 wt.%, respectively.

BixBa1-xFe12O19 (Bi–BFO, x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) absorbing materials were successfully prepared employing the sol-gel method. In this study, the effects of Bi introduction on the phase structure, microstructure, magnetic properties, and wave absorption properties of the materials were investigated in detail. The introduction of Bi enhances the dielectric properties and electrical conductivity of the material, which improves charge and dipole polarization. Elemental doping changes the microstructure of the sample, which leads to interface and defect polarization and improves the wave absorption performance of the material. At the same time, Bi doping allows for the calcination temperature to be lowered and increases the density of the material, which renders the material amenable to low-temperature preparation. The absorbing material has a variety of loss forms, with the maximum reflection loss being −43.6 dB when the thickness is 2.4 mm, and the reflection peak shifts to lower frequencies with increasing Bi content. The effective absorption bandwidth (RL

In order to develop novel materials based on rare earth (RE) boride and/or transition metals, phase equilibria and thermodynamic information of the RE–B based alloys are indispensable. On the basis of experimental phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties, thermodynamic assessments of the RE–B (RE = La, Sm, Gd and Tb) binary systems were carried out by the CALPHAD (Calculation of Phase Diagram) method. Self-consistent parameters of the RE–B (RE = La, Sm, Gd and Tb) binary systems were obtained, which can be used to reproduce well the experimental data. Furthermore, in combination with the previous assessments of the RE–B binary systems in the literature, phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties of the RE–B (RE = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm and Lu) binary systems are discussed systematically. The tendency of phase equilibria and thermodynamic information as a function of RE atomic number is demonstrated. In general, the enthalpy of mixing of liquid RE–B alloys and the enthalpy of formation of the RE–B intermetallic compounds become more and more negative with the increase in RE atomic number (except for La, Ce, Pr and Nd), while the phase transition temperatures for the RE–B intermetallic compounds increase gradually.

In this paper, a high-purity NdFe1-xNixO3 perovskite-type material was prepared by a simple sol method. At the same time, adjust the substitution content of nickel to achieve the purpose of adjusting the dielectric properties and magnetic properties. According to the respective instruments, as Ni is substituted into the NdFeO3, the crystal microstructure will change to a certain extent, and there is a certain causal relationship between the magnetic properties and the bonding. Therefore, by adding a certain amount of nickel, the dielectric properties and magnetic properties can be adjusted to a certain balance point. NdFe1-xNixO3 material has excellent microwave absorption performance. When x = 0.2, the minimum reflection loss value is −49.32, and the corresponding impedance matching value is 1, and the effective bandwidth is 2.2 GHz when the thickness is 5.0 mm. The material that adjusts the perovskite structure by Ni element is beneficial to make the microwave absorption peak move from high frequency to low frequency, which has a wider application range and is closer to civil, commercial, military and aerospace.

Given the remarkable performances of rare earth multiferroic ortho-ferrites with magnetic optical and dielectric properties, the Y1-xSrxFeO3 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15) perovskite structure microwave absorbing ferrite materials was successfully synthesized by Sr2+ ions A-site doping based on sol-gel technology in this paper. The XRD of all samples was refined with FullProf software, which confirmed the formation of the orthogonal perovskite structure (SG: Pnma). The SEM and TEM results display the average particles size of the samples is distributed between 110 and 160 nm. The increase of Sr doping concentration leads to the increase of particles size, which may be related to the growth of preferred orientation and incomplete substitution. The XPS analysis shows that Fe3+ was accompanied by the presence of Fe2+ with the doping of Sr2+ ions and oxygen vacancies increased significantly. The samples change from weak ferromagnetic state to paramagnetic state with the increase of Sr content. The minimum reflection loss (RL) of the Y0.95Sr0.05FeO3 samples at 12.2 GHz reached −30.87 dB with thickness of 2.2 mm, where its effective absorption bandwidth (EAB, RL ≤ −10 dB) reached 2.4 GHz (11.3–13.7 GHz). Moreover, the EAB of the Y0.85Sr0.15FeO3 samples reached 2.64 GHz, and the corresponding range is 9.0–11.6 GHz (X-band).

We investigated the magnetic properties, corrosion resistance, and microstructure of Tb6Fe13Cu-added Nd–Fe–B sintered magnets through the magnetic measurement device, electrochemical method, and microstructure analysis. The results show that doping Tb6Fe13Cu can not only effectively improve the intrinsic coercivity but also significantly improve the corrosion resistance of the magnet. An intrinsic coercivity from 15.01 to 21.40 kOe is achieved in magnet by increasing the additive amounts of Tb6Fe13Cu to 3 wt%, while the remanence and the maximum energy product decreased slightly. It was also found that as the amount of addition increases, the corrosion potential of the magnet gradually becomes positive. Further investigations reveal that the remarkable enhancement in coercivity and corrosion resistance was owing to the formation of a Tb-rich (Nd, Pr, Tb)2Fe14B shell structure, the optimization in distribution/morphology of intergranular phases, and the more stable RE-rich phase.

Microstructure and magnetic properties are systematically investigated to figure out what effect does the Cu content have on (Pr0.25Nd0.75)2Fe13.85-xCo0.1Ti0.05CuxB alloys in this work. The experimental result shows the optimal magnetic properties that the remanent magnetization Jr = 1.13 T, the coercivity Hcj = 588.56 kA/m, and the maximum magnetic energy product (BH)max = 260.66 kJ/m3 at the Cu content x = 0.6. However, it shows that Cu addition can promote the formation of the amorphous phase, which is an important reason for the coercivity decrease. Microstructure observation indicates that the reason for the magnetic property decrease is that the hard 2:14:1 magnetic phases and soft α-Fe phases display a state of irregular distribution with Cu content increasing.

In this paper, polycrystalline samples of Bi1–xSmxFeO3 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15) were successfully synthesized by sol-gel method. The effects of Sm concentration on the crystal structure, morphology, chemical states, magnetic properties and microwave absorption performance were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and a Vector network analyzer (VNA), respectively. The results show that the rare earth Sm doping causes the crystal structure to change. When x ≤ 0.1, Bi1–xSmxFeO3 is the distorted rhombohedral structure with space group R3c. With the increase of Sm doping amount to x = 0.15, the phase structure of Bi1–xSmxFeO3 changes from rhombohedral structure to cubic structure with the space group Pm 3 ¯ m. The particle size decreases with the increase of the Sm doping amount. The analysis results show that Sm doping can effectively reduce the oxygen vacancies and significantly improve its magnetic properties. The results exhibit that moderately doped rare earth Sm element can effectively improve microwave absorption properties of Bi1–xSmxFeO3 powders. When Sm doping amount of x is 0.1, the Bi0.9Sm0.1FeO3 compound has good microwave absorption performance, and the minimum reflection loss value of Bi0.9Sm0.1FeO3 powder reaches about −32.9 dB at 11.7 GHz, and its effective absorption bandwidth (RL

The vertical sections of the La−Fe−B system were investigated using electron probe microanalysis and differential thermal analysis. Based on the microstructures and phase compositions of the as-cast and equilibrium alloys, together with their heat flow−temperature curves, phase diagrams for three vertical sections were drawn: LaxFe82By (x+y=18), LaxFe70By (x+y=30) and LaxFe53By (x+y=47), where x and y represent mass fraction of La and B, respectively, % . Additionally, according to the phase diagrams, the compound La2Fe14B was identified as a stable phase at high temperatures. It was found to be stable between 926.2 and 792.6 °C; at low temperatures, however, it decomposed into α-La, α-Fe and LaFe4B4, according to the reaction La2Fe14B→α-Fe+α-La+LaFe4B4.

Using published and presently calculated diffusivities, a reliable and self-consistent atomic mobility description of the liquid and fcc phases in a Nd-Fe-B system is established by DIffusion-Controlled TRAnsformation software. Based on the obtained atomic mobility-coupled thermodynamic descriptions of the Nd-Fe-B system, a wheel speed-dependent solidification diagram for a model Nd2Fe14B alloy is constructed, which allows us to examine the influence of wheel speed on the solidification behavior of the quenching Nd2Fe14B alloy. According to the theoretically obtained solidified microstructures and their relationship with the magnetic properties, the optimal wheel speed when melt-spinning the quenching Nd2Fe14B ribbons is determined to be 35 m/s. The experimental microstructural characterizations and magnetic hysteresis loop measurements confirm that the ribbon prepared at a wheel speed of 35 m/s exhibits the best comprehensive magnetic properties because the remaining bcc-Fe phase is significantly suppressed and the main Nd2Fe14B phase was well refined to an ultrafine-grained microstructure. The grain refinement mechanism of the main phase in the ribbons is also described.

The Pr2Fe17−xCrx (x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4) powders were successfully prepared by arc melting and high-energy ball milling. The crystal structure, morphology, magnetic properties, and microwave absorption performance of the Pr2Fe17−xCrx alloys was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and vector network analyzer (VNA), respectively. The results show that the saturation magnetization increases with the increase of Cr doping amount. The average particle sizes of Pr2Fe17−xCrx particulates are 1.56, 1.47, 1.67, and 1.71 μm, which correspond to x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4, respectively, and the average particle size decreases first and then increases. The minimum absorption peak frequency of Pr2Fe17−xCrx shifts towards a lower frequency region with the increase of Cr doping amount. The minimum reflection loss (RL) of the Pr2Fe17−xCrx composite absorbers decreases first and then increases with the increase of Cr doping amount. The Pr2Fe16.9Cr0.1 composite absorber exhibits excellent microwave absorption properties, its minimum reflection loss value can reach up to − 33.81 dB at 7.28 GHz, and its effective absorption bandwidth (RL

Aqueous aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) are potential candidates for future large-scale energy storage devices owing to their advantages of high energy density, resource abundance, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, the exploration of suitable electrode materials is one of the key challenges for the development of aqueous AIBs. To address this issue, a new Ti-deficient rutile titanium dioxide (Ti0.95□0.05O1.79Cl0.08(OH)0.13) was achieved via univalent ion doping and evaluated as an anode for aqueous AIBs. This material yields a reversible capacity of 143.1 mA h g−1 at 0.5 A g−1. Even at 3 A g−1, an initial reversible charge capacity of 78.3 mA h g−1 can be achieved and retains almost 82% after 110 cycles. The Al3+ ion storage mechanism has been intensively investigated by ex-situ XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM and Raman techniques, indicating that Al3+ ions can reversibly insert into Ti vacancies and lattice of the Ti0.95□0.05O1.79Cl0.08(OH)0.13 without phase change, leading to much enhanced capacity as compared to the commercial rutile TiO2. These results demonstrate that cationic defect engineering is an effective strategy to improve the electrochemical properties of electrode materials for aqueous AIBs.

Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are promising next-generation energy storage candidates due to abundant resources and low cost. Sb-based materials with high theoretical capacity (660 mAh·g−1) and low working potential are considered as promising anode for PIBs. The remaining challenge is poor stability and slow kinetics. In this work, FeSb@N-doped carbon quantum dots anchored in three-dimensional (3D) porous N-doped carbon (FeSb@C/N⊂3DC/N), a Sb-based material with a particular structure, is designed and constructed by a green salt-template method. As an anode for PIBs, it exhibits extraordinarily high-rate and long-cycle stability (a capacity of 245 mAh·g−1 at 3,080 mA·g−1 after 1,000 cycles). The pseudocapacitance contribution (83%) is demonstrated as the origin of high-rate performance of the FeSb@C/N⊂3DC/N electrode. Furthermore, the potassium storage mechanism in the electrode is systematically investigated through ex-situ characterization techniques including ex-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Overall, this study could provide a useful guidance for future design of high-performance electrode materials for PIBs.

Zero-dimensional lead-free organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides have drawn attention as a result of their local metal ion confinement structure and photoelectric properties. Herein, a lead-free compound of (Gua)3Cu2I5 (Gua = guanidine) with a different metal ion confinement has been discovered, which possesses a unique [Cu2I5]3- face-sharing tetrahedral dimer structure. First-principles calculation demonstrates the inherent nature of a direct band gap for (Gua)3Cu2I5, and its band gap of ∼2.98 eV was determined by experiments. Worthy of note is that (Gua)3Cu2I5 exhibits a highly efficient cool-white emission peaking at 481 nm, a full-width at half-maximum of 125 nm, a large Stokes shift, and a photoluminescence quantum efficiency of 96%, originating from self-trapped exciton emission. More importantly, (Gua)3Cu2I5 single crystals have a reversible thermoinduced luminescence characteristic due to a structural transition scaled by the electron-phonon coupling coefficients, which can be converted back and forth between cool-white and yellow color emission by heating or cooling treatment within a short time. In brief, as-synthesized (Gua)3Cu2I5 shows great potential for application both in single-component white solid-state lighting and sensitive temperature scaling.

Mn doping of BiFeO3 for microstructure and electromagnetic characteristics was investigated in BiFe1–xMnxO3 (x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15) nanoparticles synthesized by sol-gel preparation technique. XRD and HR-TEM research reveals that the phase structure of nanoparticles changes from rhombohedral (R3c) for BiFeO3 to cubic (Pm $$ \overline{3} $$ m) for BiFe0.9Mn0.1O3. The morphological characteristics show that the average particle sizes of the Mn-doped BiFeO3 nanoparticles were decreased as compared with that of the original BiFeO3. XPS spectroscopy analysis showed that Fe and Mn elements exist in the nanoparticles in the form of Fe2+/Fe3+ and Mn3+/Mn4+ valence states, respectively. PPMS-VSM and VAN analysis showed that a certain content of Mn doping can significantly improve the magnetic and microwave absorbing property of BiFeO3. At room temperature, the remnant magnetization and coercive field of the BiFe0.95Mn0.05FeO3 nanopowders were 0.08 emu/g and 6216 Oe, respectively. The minimum RL of BiFe0.95Mn0.05FeO3 can reach about − 29.41 dB at 10.39 GHz at 2.20 mm thickness.

Sodium-ion batteries are considered as a promising candidate for lithium-ion batteries due to abundant sodium resources and similar intercalation chemistry. Hard carbon derived from biomass with the virtue of abundance and renewability is a cost-effective anode material. Herein, hard carbon is derived from renewable bagasse through a simple two-step method combining mechanical ball milling with carbonization. The hard carbon electrodes exhibit superior electrochemical performance with a high reversible capacity of 315 mA-h/g. Furthermore, the initial capacity of the full cell, HC//NaMn0.4Ni0.4Ti0.1Mg0.1O2, is 253 mA·h/g and its capacity retention rate is 77% after 80 cycles, which further verifies its practical application. The simple and low-cost preparation process, as well as excellent electrochemical properties, demonstrates that hard carbon derived from bagasse is a promising anode for sodium-ion batteries.

A series of nanocrystalline La1-xBixFeO3 (0.0≤x ≤ 0.5) ceramic powders were successfully prepared by the sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to investigate the crystal structure evolution and hyperfine interactions of the samples. The average diameter of the powders was revealed to be approximately 80 nm. All the samples were crystallized into an orthorhombic crystal structure (space group Pnma) with no second phase. The magnetization of the Bi-doped samples obviously improved with increasing Bi content. A remarkable antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic transition was detected at x ≥ 0.2, and a high coercive field of 23.05 kOe was obtained with x = 0.5. The high correlation between the magnetization parameters and bonding characteristics indicated that significant stretching of the Fe3+-Od2- bonds and a decrease in Fe3+-Od2--Fe3+ linkage angles were the main origins of the strong ferromagnetism in the Bi-doped systems.

Phase structure and microstructure of (Nd1-xCex)13.4Fe79.9B6.7 (x = 0.0–1.0) alloys that were prepared via the arc-melting method were studied experimentally in this work. The results reveal that (Nd1-xCex)13.4Fe79.9B6.7 alloys annealed at 1173 K for 360 h are a single (NdCe)2Fe14B phase with the tetragonal Nd2Fe14B-typed structure (space group P42/mnm). The formation of continuous (NdCe)2Fe14B solid solution phase in annealed (Nd1-xCex)13.4Fe79.9B6.7 alloys was confirmed. On the other hand, magnetic measurements exhibit that the coercivity, remanence, maximum magnetic energy product, and Curie temperature of (Nd1-xCex)13.4Fe79.9B6.7 ribbons that were fabricated by melt spinning technology decrease gradually with increasing Ce content, which results from the substitution of Nd by Ce in Nd2Fe14B phase due to inferior intrinsic magnetic properties of Ce2Fe14B phase.

Sn-based alloy materials are considered as a promising anode candidate for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), whereas they suffer from severe volume change during the discharge/charge process. To address the issue, double core—shell structured Sn-Cu@SnO2@C nanocomposites have been prepared by a simple co-precipitation method combined with carbon coating approach. The double core—shell structure consists of Sn-Cu multiphase alloy nanoparticles as the inner core, intermediate SnO2 layer anchored on the surface of Sn-Cu nanoparticle and outer carbon layer. The Sn-Cu@SnO2@C electrode exhibits outstanding electrochemical performances, delivering a reversible capacity of 396 mA·h·g−1 at 100 mA·g−1 after 100 cycles for LIBs and a high initial reversible capacity of 463 mA·h·g−1 at 50 mA·g−1 and a capacity retention of 86% after 100 cycles, along with a remarkable rate capability (193 mA·h·g−1 at 5000 mA·g−1) for SIBs. This work provides a viable strategy to fabricate double core—shell structured Sn-based alloy anodes for high energy density LIBs and SIBs.

The phase relations in the Ce2Co17-Sm2Co17 system over the whole concentration range have been studied by means of Xray powder diffraction, differential thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive Xray spectroscopy. The X-ray powder diffraction results reveal that all the alloys (Ce1-xSmx)2Co17 are similar to the end member of the investigated system, Sm2Co17. It is implied that continuous solid solutions are formed in this system. The lattice parameters and unit cell volumes of (Ce1-xSmx)2Co17 solid solutions increase linearly with x increasing from 0 to 1.0. The occurrence of the polymorphic transformation reaction α-(Ce, Sm)2Co17 = β-(Ce, Sm)2Co17 is confirmed in the Ce2Co17-Sm2Co17 system, but its transition temperature cannot be determined. The differential thermal analysis measurements show that both the decomposition temperature and the Curie temperature of the (Ce1-xSmx)2Co17 alloys increase gradually with increasing Sm content. Based on the X-ray powder diffraction results and differential thermal analysis data, the tentative vertical section of Ce2Co17-Sm2Co17 pseudobinary system has been constructed.

The phase relationships of the Ce-Pr-Fe ternary system at 600 °C were experimentally investigated using equilibrated alloys and diffusion junction samples with the use of electron probe microanalysis, x-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The isothermal section of the Ce-Pr-Fe system at 600 °C consists of 7 single-phase, 11 two-phase, and 5 three-phase regions. No ternary compound was found. The PrFe2 phase was observed in both ternary alloys and diffusion samples at normal pressure. The solid solubility of Ce in PrFe2 and Pr2Fe17 is 1.76 and 3.75 at.%, respectively. The solid solubility of Pr in CeFe2 and Ce2Fe17 is 13.21 and 0.77 at.%, respectively.

Alloying is an effective method for improving the resistance of V metals to hydrogen embrittlement. The effects of the doping with a third element (Pd, Ru, Ta) on the structure and hydrogen permeation properties of V–10Mo solid solutions have been investigated in this study. As-prepared V–5Mo-5TM (TM = Mo, Pd, Ru, Ta) alloy samples composed of V-based solid solution with a bcc structure are hydrogenated into their corresponding solid solutions (α-phase). Structural changes caused by TM-doping have notable effects on the hydrogen permeation properties (particularly the hydrogen solubility) of V–10Mo alloy, and the ability of the doping element in decreasing the hydrogen solubility of the V–10Mo alloy follows the sequence: Pd > Ru > Ta. Their doping causes a slight decrease in the hydrogen diffusion coefficient as well as an increase in the Vickers hardness of the resulting alloys. This work demonstrates that the mechanical property of V–10Mo alloy can be improved via suitable structure control caused by alloying it with an appropriate element. In addition, this approach might be suitable for improving properties of other relevant binary alloys.

Based on the highly efficient diffusion couple and equilibrated alloy methods, phase relations in La-Fe-B ternary system were experimentally investigated by scanning electron microscopy, electron probe microanalysis and electron backscatter diffraction techniques. Isothermal sections of the La-Fe-B system at both 600 and 800 °C were constructed. One ternary phase (LaFe4B4-τ2) was detected at 600 °C and two ternary compounds (τ2 and La2Fe14B-τ1) were determined at 800 °C. Seven three-phase zones were found at 600 °C and ten three-phase regions were found at 800 °C. Liquid phase was found in the La-rich corner at 800 °C. The solid solubility of both binary and ternary compounds in the system is negligible. The present experimental results are important for the design of multi-main-phase Nd-La-Ce-Fe-B magnets.
