摘要:
Tetragonal polycrystalline Mn-Ga nanoflakes with a nominal composition of Mn1.33Ga were prepared by the surfactant-assisted high-energy ball milling method, and the effects of milling time and annealing treatment on structure and the magnetic properties were also investigated in detail. The irregular Mn1.33Ga flakes show typical shape anisotropy and a high aspect ratio with thicknesses in the range of 100 nm similar to 3 mu m. Crystalline grain is reduced to 10 nm when increasing the milling time above 4 h. Coercivity is greatly improved, and the highest coercivity of 7.2 kOe is obtained for flakes milled for 2 h, but the saturation magnetization, M-s, and remanence, M-r, decrease sharply during the ball milling process. Medium-temperature annealing is beneficial to the crystallization and the enhancement of magnetization. After annealing at 773 K for 30 min, M-s and M-r are recovered to 68 and 41 emu/g, respectively; and the (BH)(max) can reach 2.3 MGOe which is comparable with that of 2.5 MGOe for films or microparticles.
