Abstract

The synergistic combination of experiment and density functional theory has led to the discovery of the first ferromagnetic material, Nb6Fe1−xIr6+xB8, containing in its crystal structure iron chains embedded in stacked B6 rings. The strong ferromagnetic Fe – Fe interactions found in the iron chains induce an unexpected strengthening of the B – B interactions in the B6 rings. Beside these strong B – B interactions, strong interlayer metal – boron bonds (Ir – B and Nb – B) ensure the overall structural stability of this phase, while the magnetic Fe – Fe interactions are mainly responsible for the observed ferromagnetic ordering below TC=350 K. Eine gegenseitige Abhängigkeit von ferromagnetischen Eisenketten und gestapelten B6 ‐ Ringen (siehe Bild) wird in dem neuen ferromagnetischen Material Nb6Fe1−xIr6+xB8 (TC=350 K) durch Experimente und Dichtefunktionaltheorie gefunden. Starke magnetische Fe ‐ Fe ‐ Wechselwirkungen in den Eisenketten induzieren eine unerwartete Verstärkung der B ‐ B ‐ Wechselwirkungen in den B6 ‐ Ringen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
