Giant magnetostriction in Tb-doped Fe83Ga17 melt-spun ribbons

Materials Science 2015-06-16 v1

Abstract

Giant magnetostriction is achieved in the slightly Tb-doped Fe83Ga17 melt-spun ribbons. The tested average perpendicular magnetostriction is -886 ppm along the melt-spun ribbon direction in the Fe82.89Ga16.88Tb0.23 alloy. The calculated parallel magnetostriction is 1772 ppm, more than 4 times as large as that of binary Fe83Ga17 alloy. The enhanced magnetostriction should be attributed to a small amount of Tb solution into the A2 matrix phase during rapid solidification. The localized strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy of Tb element is suggested to cause the giant magnetostriction.
