Abstract

The magnetic properties of single-crystalline Tb2Fe17−xSix (x = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 3.3) have been investigated. The Si substitution constricted the lattices by 1.5% and caused the Th2Ni17 transfer to Th2Zn17. The Curie temperature increased from 413 to 526 K, and the spontaneous magnetic moment decreased from 82.6 to 46.4 emu/g with the increase of Si. The stronger anisotropy and coercivity were generated by Si occupying the Fe sublattices. A domain wall pinning-dominated mechanism was responsible for increasing the coercivity force from 0.01 T (x = 1) to about 0.36 T (x = 3.3) at 1.5 K.
