Cobalt nanowires have been synthesized by electrochemical deposition using track-etched anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. Nanowires with varying spacing-to-diameter ratios were prepared, and their magnetic properties were investigated. It is found that the nanowires’ easy magnetization direction switches from parallel to perpendicular to the nanowire growth direction when the nanowire’s spacing-to-diameter ratio is reduced below 0.7, or when the nanowires’ packing density is increased above 5%. Upon further reduction in the spacing-to-diameter ratio, nanowires’ magnetic properties exhibit an isotropic behavior. Apart from shape anisotropy, strong dipolar interactions among nanowires facilitate additional uniaxial anisotropy, favoring an easy magnetization direction perpendicular to their growth direction. The magnetic interactions among the nanowires were studied using the standard method of remanence curves. The demagnetization curves and Delta m (Δm) plots showed that the nanowires interact via dipolar interactions that act as an additional uniaxial anisotropy favoring an easy magnetization direction perpendicular to the nanowire growth direction. The broadening of the dipolar component of Δm plots indicate an increase in the switching field distribution with the increase in the nanowires’ diameter. Our findings provide an important insight into the magnetic behavior of cobalt nanowires, meaning that it is crucial to design them according to the specific requirements for the application purposes.

A single crystal of HoFe5Al7 (tetragonal ThMn12 structure) has been studied. HoFe5Al7 orders ferrimagnetically at TC = 227 K and has a compensation of the Ho and Fe sublattices at Tcomp = 65 K. The compound exhibits high easy-plane anisotropy. Strong anisotropy is also present within the basal plane, with the [110] axis being the easy magnetization direction. A high coercivity with Hc values attaining 1.6 T is found at 2 K. In the temperature range 40-80 K, HoFe5Al7 displays a field-induced magnetic transition along the easy [110] direction. Temperature dependence of the critical field Hcr of the transition is very strong, Hcr exceeds 14 T below 40 K.

In this paper, the influences of depositing angles on TbFe film magnetic and magnetostrictive characteristics were discussed. TbFe films were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering. With the decrease of depositing angles from 900 to 150, TbFe film in-plane magnetization measured at 1600kA.m-1 external field is greatly increased. With the decrease of depositing angles from 900 to 150, the magnetostrictive saturation field is decreased. TbFe film in-plane magnetostriction is improved when depositing angles are changed from 900 to 150. Magnetic domain structures detected by MFM indicates that film easy magnetization direction is gradually changed from perpendicular to parallel with the decrease of depositing angles. The variation of film magnetic and magnetostrictive performances can be explained by the oblique anisotropy associated with columnar grain morphology of the films.

The crystallographic structural characteristics and magnetic properties of Ho3Fe29-xTx (T=V and Cr) compounds have been investigated by using Rietveld refinement analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and magnetic measurements. The calculated results indicate that among the 11 different kinds of Fe sites in these Ho-Fe compounds the preferential sites of the stabilizing elements V and Cr are quite different. The refined lattice parameters of these compounds are in good agreement with the experimental data. Spin reorientations of easy magnetization direction (EMD) are observed at around 150 K for Ho3Fe27V2 and Ho3Fe25.5Cr3.5. At the around 1.7 T critical fields (HCR) first order magnetization process (FOMP) occurs in magnetization curves at 4.2 K for the magnetically aligned samples of Ho3Fe27V2 and Ho3Fe25.5Cr3.5.

We have synthesized a novel intermetallic compound PrFe8Ga3C and studied its structure and magnetic properties. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the compound possesses a tetragonal BaCd11-type structure (space group I41/amd). In this structure Ga atoms occupy the same sites as Fe atoms with preferably filling the 4(b) site. Magnetization curves have been measured on the aligned powder samples. Below the Curie temperature TC = 400 K the easy magnetization direction was found to orient within the (100) plane. At 80 K the compound has a spontaneous magnetization of 97 emu/g and anisotropy constant of 4.2107 erg/cm3. At room temperature these values reduce to 78 emu/g and 4.7106 erg/cm3, respectively.
