Magnetic and Structural Characterization of Nickel and Iron Based Heusler Ribbons Ni₂FeZ (Z = In, Sn, Sb)
No full textComparison of structural, chemical, and magnetic properties of Ni₂FeZ (Z = In, Sn, Sb) Heusler ribbons produced by melt-spinning method is presented. The aim of work was to prepare the Heusler alloys with the appropriate chemical composition in a single step without additional thermal treatment. Scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed polycrystalline structure of all samples. It is shown that correct L2₁ structure of Ni₂FeSb can be obtained in a single production step. On the other hand, no Heusler L2₁ phase (nor its variants) occur in Ni₂FeSn alloy. Additionally, magnetic characterization revealed high Curie temperatures of the Heusler phases (above 600 K for Ni₂FeSb and 800 K for Ni₂FeIn)
