Magnetic properties of the Y<sub>2</sub> (Fe<sub>x</sub>Co<sub>1-x</sub>)<sub>17</sub> compounds

The results of magnetization curves analysis of Y2(FexCo1−x)17 compounds, measured in 300—923 K temperature interval along easy and hard magnetization direction, were represented. Magnetocrystalline anisotropy constants K1,2 of the samples were calculated. Temperature and compositional dependence of anisotropy constants K1,2 and saturation magnetization Ms were discussed. There is an increase of first anisotropy constant K1 value with the increase of relative samples iron concentration with maximum value of 5.1∙105 J·m-3 in x = 0.29 point, correspond to the middle of the easy-axis interval.
