Abstract
Polycrystalline magnetostrictive alloys
Tb0.1Nd0.9Fe1 x Mn x 1.9 x =0, 0.05 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2) were synthes ized by
high pressure annealing. Measurements of crystal structure, Curie temperature, magnetization and magnetostric tion were
made on these alloys. X ray diffraction results show that the alloys exhibit single cubic Laves phase with MgCu 2 type
structure. The lattice parameter increases with increasing Mn concentration while the Curie temperature decreases. The
saturatio n magnetization decreases with increasing Mn, which could be understood in the frame of the rigid band model. The
saturation magnetostriction decreases with increasing Mn concentration while the magnetostriction of the sample with x 0.1
peaks at low magnet ic field, which may make Tb0.1Nd0.9 (Fe0.9Mn0.1) 1.9 a promising candidate for magnetostrictive application..
