Abstract:
To find out the effect of Co on magnetic properties of PrFe
10.2Mo
1.5Co
0.3 Permanent magnetic alloy, the cryatal and magnetic structures of the alloy are determined by powder neutron diffraction. Reitveld analysis of the neutron diffraction data indicates that Mo prefers the 8
j site while Co prefers the 8
j site. The experimental study shows that the magnetic moment and the saturation magnetization are enhanced, and the Curie temperature is raised due to the 8
j crystal site Fe is replaced by Co.
