Abstract
Large magneto crystalline anisotropy energy and demagnetization energy of rare earth-transition metal (RF-TM) alloys play roles of bottlenecks towards their commercial applications for giant magnetostrictive and blue wavelength magneto optical recording materials, respectively. To solve the above problems, boron is added into amorphous RE-TM alloys to produce its electron transferring. The boron added amorphous RE-TM alloys show novel magnetic and magneto-optical properties as follows; 1) an amorphous (Sm33Fe67)97B3 alloy obtains the magnetostriction of -550×10-6 at 400 Oe compared with saturation magnetostriction of -60×10-6 in conventional Ni based alloys, 2) an amorphous (Nd33Fe67)95B5 alloy increases effective magnetic anisotropy to -0.5×106 ergs/cm3 from -3.5×106 ergs/cm3 without boron, which correspond to the polar Kerr rotation angles of 0.52˚ and 0.33˚, respectively. These results attribute to selective 2p-3d electron orbits exchange coupling (SEC).
