Magnetic and Magnetostrictive Properties of (Tb,Nd)Fe2 Alloys

The characteristics of materials with high magnetostrictive properties have been studied and described. The object of study is pseudo-binary compounds RFe 2 (R = rare earth element) with a cubic Laves structure. The characteristics of the structure and magnetic properties of substituted (Tb, Nd)Fe2 alloys are presented, the structure is refined, the lattice parameters and phase composition are determined.
