Abstract:
Magnetic materials are crucial energy materials that are widely used in day-to-day life. Therefore, the development and study of high-performance magnetic materials are of great significance. In this study, the magnetic materials Co66.6Si33.4, Co60.6X6Si33.4 (X = Fe, Mn), and Co60.6Fe3Mn3Si33.4 were prepared via the ball milling and sintering processes. Their crystal structures, electrical conductivity, and magnetic properties were investigated via the X-ray diffraction analysis and by using a resistivity tester, vibrating sample magnetometer, and vector network analyser. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that a single phase of Co66.6Si33.4 and its doped alloy powders were successfully obtained. The electrical conductivities of Mn6Co60.6Si33.4 and Fe3Mn3Co60.6Si33.4 were measured using a resistivity tester. The results indicate that Mn doping and Fe and Mn Co-doping enhanced the electrical conductivity of Co66.6Si33.4. The magnetic properties of Co66.6Si33.4 were determined using a vibrating sample magnetometer. We observed that the magnetic properties were enhanced after doping. Co60.6Fe3Mn3Si33.4 exhibited excellent magnetic properties. Further, its permeability was determined using a vector network analyser. At a low frequency, the u' and u" values of Co60.6Fe6Si33.4 and Co60.6Fe3Mn3Si33.4 were enhanced; whereas, at a high frequency, after doping, the u' and u" values changed only slightly. This study can be used as a basis for future studies on magnetic functional materials.

Ferromagnetism
Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
