환원.확산법에 의해 $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}N_{x}$ 계 희토류 영구자석을 제조하기 위한 기초연구로서, 우선 $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}$ 금속간화합물의 제조를 위하여, 금속 Ca에 의한 $Sm_2O_3$의 환원반응과 Fe분말중에 Sm의 확산반응을 검토하였다. 그 결과 전자는 $1000^{\circ}C$이상의 고온의 경우에 매우 빠르게 완료되지만, 후자의 Fe분말의 중심까지 Sm의 확산반응의 완료(완전한 균질화조건)는 $1100^{\circ}C$에서 3h 정도의 R-D 반응이 필요하며, 이 확산반응이 전체반응에 있어서 율속단계임을 알았다. Sm-Fe 계의 금속간화합물들의 성장은$ 1000^{\circ}C$이하에서는 $SmFe_2$, $SmFe_3$,$Sm_{2}Fe_{17}$금속간화합물의 3개의 상이 관찰되었으나, $1100^{\circ}C$에서는 $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}$ 금속간화합물의 상만이 관찰되었다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 최종시료의 산소 및 Ca량은 각각 0.72wt% 및 0.11wt%이었다.

Mechanical alloying technique was applied to prepare hard magnetic $Sm_2Fe_{17}N_x$ compound powders. Staring from pure Fe and Sm powders, the formation process of hard magnetic $Sm_2Fe_{17}N_x$ phase by mechanical alloying and subsequent solid state reaction was studied. As milled powders were found to consist of Sm-Fe amorphous and $\alpha$-Fe phases in all compositions of $Sm_xFe_{100-x}$(x = 11, 13, 15, 17). The effects of starting composition on the formation of $Sm_2Fe_{17}$ intermetallic compound was investigated by heat treatment of mechanically-alloyed powders. When Sm content was 15 at.％, heat-treated powders consisted of nearly $Sm_2Fe_{17}$ single phase. For preparation of hard magnetic $Sm_2Fe_{17}N_x$ powders, additional nitriding treatment was performed under $N_2$ gas flow at 45$0^{\circ}C$. The increase in the coercivity and remanence was proportional to the nitrogen content which increased drastically at first and then increased gradually as the nitriding time was extended to 3 hours.

The magnetic properties and crystal structures of $Sm_yGd_{2-y}Fe_{17-x}Si_x$ alloys ($0\leq\;x\leq2\;and\;y=0\~1.67$) have been investigated using x-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. The $Sm_yGd_{2-y}Fe_{17-x}Si_x$ specimens were crystallized to the rhombohedral $Th_2Zn_{17}-structure$ with less than $5mol\%$ of impurities. The unit cells of the mixed rare-earth samples are smaller than those of $Sm_2Fe_{17}\;and\;Gd_2Fe_{17}.$ For example, the $T_c\;of\;SmGdFe_{17}\;(255^{\circ}C)$ is approximately 160 and $800^{\circ}C)$ higher than that of $Sm_2Fe_{17}\;and\;Gd_2Fe_{17},$ respectively. The $T_cs$ measured for $Sm_yGd_{2-y}Fe_{17-x}Si_x$ samples, 280 to $290^{\circ}C)$, are among the highest values observed for a $R_2Fe_{17-x}M_x$ intermetallic where M is a substituent other than cobalt.

영구자석용 $Sm_2$$Fe_{17}$$N_{x}$계 분말재료를 합성하기 위하여 유성형 볼밀장치를 사용한 Mechanochemical reaction 반응법을 적용하였다. 볼밀처리시 출발원료로서 금속 Sm과 Fe분말을 사용하고 고상반응을 통한 경질자성상 $Sm_2$$Fe_{17}$$N_{x}$의 형성과정을 조사하였다. 출발원료 $Sm_2$$Fe_{100-x}$(x = 11, 13, 15)의 모든 조성에서 볼밀처리만을 행하였을 경우 Sm-Fe계 비정질상 및 $\alpha$-Fe의 혼합상 분말을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 볼밀처리된 분말시료의 열처리를 통하여 최종 생성상에 미치는 출발원료의 조성의존성을 조사한 결과, $Sm_{15}Fe_{85}$ 조성에서 거의 단상의 $Sm_2$$Fe_{17}$ 화합물이 생성됨을 알 수 있었다. $Sm_2$$Fe_{17}$으로부터 경질자성상인 $Sm_2$$Fe_{17}$$N_{x}$ 화합물을 생성시키기 위하여 $450^{\circ}C$, $N_2$가스분위기에서 질화열처리를 실시하였다. 분말시료에 흡수된 질소량은 질화 처리 초기에 급격히 증가한 후 서서히 포화되었으며 이에 따라 보자력 및 잔류자화가 크게 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 Sm-Fe-N계 분말재료는 차세대 고성능 영구자석을 제조할 수 있는 원료분말로서 그 응용이 기대된다.

In the present study, we systematically investigated the effect of Mn addition on nitrogenation behavior and magnetic properties of Sm-Fe powders produced by reduction-diffusion process. Alloy powders with only $Sm_2(Fe,Mn)_{17}$ single phase were successfully produced by the reduction-diffusion process. The coercivity of $Sm_2(Fe,Mn)_{17}$ powder rapidly increased during nitrogenation and reached the maximum of 637 Oe after 16 hours. After further nitrogenation, it decreased. In contrast, the coercivity of $Sm_2Fe_{17}$ powder gradually increased during nitrogenation for 24 hours. The coercivity of $Sm_2(Fe,Mn)_{17}$ powder was higher than that of $Sm_2Fe_{17}$ powder at the same condition of nitrogenation. It was considered that the Mn addition facilitates the nitrogenation of $Sm_2Fe_{17}$ powder and enhances the coercivity.

This study investigated the effect of process temperature on the alloying process during synthesis of $Sm_2Fe_{17}$ powder from ball-milled samarium oxide ($Sm_2O_3$) powders and a solid reducing agent of calcium hydrides ($CaH_2$) using iron nanopowder (n-Fe powder) by a reduction-diffusion (R-D) process. The $n-Fe-Sm_2O_3-CaH_2$ mixed powders were subjected to heat treatment at $850{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$ in $Ar-H_2$ for 5 h. It was found that the iron nanopowders in the mixed powders are sintered below $850^{\circ}C$ during the R-D process and the $SmH_2$ is synthesized by a reduced Sm that combines with $H_2$ around $850^{\circ}C$. The results showed that $SmH_2$ is able to separate Sm and $H_2$ respectively depending on an increase in process temperature, and the formed $Sm_2Fe_{17}$ phase on the surface of the sintered Fe nanopowder agglomerated at temperatures of $950{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$ in this study. The formation of the $Sm_2Fe_{17}$ layer is mainly due to the diffusion reaction of Sm atoms into the sintered Fe nanopowder, which agglomerates above $950^{\circ}C$. We concluded that nanoscale $Sm_2Fe_{17}$ powder can be synthesized by controlling the diffusion depth using well-dispersed Fe nanopowders.

In the present study, the $Sm_2Fe_{17}N_x$-type interstitial materials have been prepared by reaction between Nb-free or Nb-containing $Sm_2Fe_{17}$-type alloy and $N_2$ gas. Nitrogenation behaviour of the $Sm_2Fe_{17}N_x$-type material and disproportionation characteristics of the nitrogenated materials have been studied by means of differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermopiezic analysis (TPA). Magnetic properties of the produced $Sm_2Fe_{17}N_x$-type interstitial materials were characterised in vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) or thermomagnetic analyser (TMA). Epoxy-bonded or Zn-bonded $Sm_2Fe_{17}N_x$-type magnets were prepared, and their magnetic properties were investigated. It has been found that nitrogenation kinetics of the Sm2Fe17Nx-type alloy is improved significantly by the Nb-substitution for Fe in the alloy. The Nb-substitution is also found to enhance thermal stability of the $Sm_2Fe_{17}N_x$-type interstitial material. Hard magnetic properties of the interstitial materials produced from Nb-free orNb-containing alloy is high enough (intrinsic coercivity : over 7 kOe) for application as bonded permanent magnets. The good hard magnetic properties of the interstitial material are maintained in the epoxy-bonded magnet. Intrinsic coercivity of the Zn-bonded magnets is improved significantly as post-bonding annealing time increases.

The Ga-stabilised $Sm_2Fe_{17-}$type alloy can hardly be disproportionated under ordinary HDDR condition. The HDDR characteristics of Ga-substituted $Sm_2Fe_{17-}$type alloy were examined, and, in particular, the effect of particle size on the disproportionation of the Ga-substituted alloy was investigated in detail. The reaction characteristics of the $Sm_2Fe_{17-}$type alloys with or without Ga-substitution with methane (CH4) gas are also examined. The Ga-stabilised $Sm_2Fe_{17-}$type alloy was able to be disproportionated significantly on heating up to 80$0^{\circ}C$ under hydrogen with normal pressure. The particle size influenced significantly on the disproportion-ation of the Ga-substitute alloy, and the materials with finer particle size (<40 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) was fully disproportionated on heating up to around 80$0^{\circ}C$ under hydrogen gas with normal pressure. The Ga-substituted alloy has a very sluggish recombination kinetics with respect to the alloy without Ga-substitution. The $Sm_2Fe_{17}C_{x-}$type carbide was stabilised significantly by the Ga-substitution for Fe in the parent alloy. While the $Sm_2Fe_{17}C_x$ was disproportionated below 80$0^{\circ}C$ the Ga-stabilised $Sm_2Fe_{14}Ga_2C_x$ carbide remained intact even on heating up to 80$0^{\circ}C$.

신소재 희토류 영구자석인 $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}N_{3}$ 화합물에 대한 자체충족적 국재밀도함수 근사 전자구조 계산을 수행하여 이 물질의 전자기적 물성을 연구하였다. LMTO(Linearized Muffin-Tin Orbital) 에너지 띠 방법을 사용하여 상자성, 강자성상 $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}N_{3}$ 화합물의 에너지 띠 구조를 결정 하고 이를 토대로 이화합물의 전기적, 자기적 구조와 Sm, Fe, N원자들간의 결합효과등을 고찰하였다. N원자는 근접 Fe원자와의 혼성 상호작용을 통하여 Fe원자의 자기모멘트를 많이 줄이는 효과를 주며 또한 구조 안정성에 기여한다는 결과를 얻었다. 강자성상 $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}N_{3}$에서의 Fe원자들의 평균 자기모멘트는 $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}$의 $2.16{\mu}_B$에 비해 약 8% 증가한 $2.33{\mu}_B$로 계산되었는데 이중 N원자로 부터 가장 멀리 떨어져 있으며 12개의 Fe원자들로 둘러싸인 Fe I (c) 원자가 가장 큰 값($2.65{\mu}_B$)의 자기모멘트르 갖고 N원자와의 혼성 상호작용이 가장 큰 Fe III(f)원자가 가장 작은 값($1.96{\mu}_B$)의 자기모멘트를 갖는다.

$Sm_2Fe_{17}N_x$ film magnets were prepared using a $Sm_2Fe_{17}$ target in a $N_2$ gas atmosphere using a Nd-YAG pulsed laser ablation technique. The effect of nitrogen pressure, deposition temperature, pulse time and film thickness on the structure and magnetic properties of $Sm_2Fe_{17}N_x$ film were studied. Increasing the nitrogen pressure up to 5 atm led to the formation of complete $Sm_2Fe_{17}N_x$ compound. Optimized magnetic properties with the nitrogenation temperature in the range 500-53$0^{\circ}C$ could be obtained by extending the nitrogenation time up to 4 hours. Relatively low coercivities of 400~600 Oe were found in $Sm_2Fe_{17}N_x$films 50~100 m thick, while a $4\piM_s$ of 10$\sim$12 kG could be achieved. In-plane anisotropy, which was the basic goal in this study, was achieved by controlling the nitrogenation parameters.
