Magnetic properties of a novel Sm 3 (Fe, Ti) 29 phase

In a systematic study of the Sm 10 Fe 85 Ti x (4.7 x 3 (Fe, Ti) 29 compound has been found to be a new phase, of which the structure is Nd 3 (Fe, Ti) 29 -type. The X-ray diffraction pattern of Sm 3 (Fe 0.933Ti 0.06 7) 29 can be indexed on the monoclinic symmetry with the lattice parameters a = 1.065 nm, b = 0.858 nm, c = 0.972 nm and β = 96.98°. The Sm 3 (Fe 0.933 Ti 0.067 ) 29 compound exhibits ferromagnetic ordering with a Curie temperature T C = 486 K. The saturation magnetization M S is 125 A m 2 /kg at 77 K and 119 A m 2 /kg at room temperature. The room temperature anisotropy field is 3.4 T.
