Thermodynamics of the SmCo5 compound doped with Fe and Ni: an ab initio study

Abstract

SmCo5 permanent magnets exhibit enormous uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy and have a high Curie temperature. However, a low energy product presents a significant drawback in the performance of SmCo5 permanent magnets. In order to increase the energy product in SmCo5, we propose substituting fixed amount of cobalt with iron in a new magnet, SmFe3CoNi, where inclusion of nickel metal makes this magnet thermodynamically stable. We further discuss some basic theoretical magnetic properties of the SmCo5 compound.
