Abstract Material design of promising rare-earth free permanent magnet requires tailoring and controlling the intrinsic magnetic properties namely large saturation magnetization μ 0 M s, giant uniaxial magnetic anisotropy K u, and high Curie temperature T C. Based on first-principles electronic structure calculations, we present a detailed analysis for the intrinsic magnetic properties of Co x Fe1−x Ni and Co x Fe1−x NiN0.25 ordered structures. We predict an enhanced structural stability with improved K u ranging from 1.53–2.29 MJ m−3 for Co x Fe1−x NiN0.25 ordered structures, with the exception of CoNiN0.25 having planar anisotropy. Detailed analysis of the predicted large K u, based on perturbation theory and electronic structure calculations, is attributed to the cumulative effect of contribution from the increased tetragonal distortion and induced orbital distortion from the simultaneous Co substitution and interstitial N-doping. By tailoring the K u, we may create efficient and affordable PMs, bridging the gap between commonly used ferrite and high-performance Nd–Fe–B magnets.

AbstractUsing first-principles electronic structure calculations based on the Linear-Muffin-Tin Orbital (LMTO) method, we have investigated the effects of interstitial boron and hydrogen on the electronic structure of the L12 ordered intermetallic Ni3A1. When it occupies an octahedral interstitial site entirely coordinated by six Ni atoms, we find that boron enhances the charge distribution found in the strongly-bound “pure” Ni3AI crystal: Charge is depleted at Ni and Al sites and enhanced in interstitial region. Substitution of Al atoms for two of the Ni atoms coordinating the boron, however, reduces the interstitial charge density between certain atomic planes. In contrast to boron, hydrogen appears to deplete the interstitial charge, even when fully coordinated by Ni atoms. We suggest that these results are broadly consistent with the notion of boron as a cohesion enhancer and hydrogen as an embrittler.
