Abstract:
In order to calculate the prospects for new transition-metal rich and rare-earth free permanent magnets, we have investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of Fe[Formula: see text]P and related Mn- or/and Si-substituted compounds using full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FPLAPW) method under generalized gradient approximation (GGA) exchange-correlation (XC) functional. In agreement with the experiment, our calculated total magnetic moment and magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) for Fe[Formula: see text]P are found to be 3.03 μ [Formula: see text]/f.u. and 538 μeV/f.u. (2.58 MJ/m[Formula: see text]), respectively. We find that the substitution of Mn or/and Si in Fe[Formula: see text]P not only enhances the magnetization but also boosts the maximum energy product by preserving the hard magnetic behavior. Our theoretical predictions provide useful insights to enhance magnetization with tolerable loss of MCA for Mn or/and Si substituted Fe[Formula: see text]P. Thus, we propose rare-earth free prospective candidates for permanent magnets through Fe[Formula: see text]P based compounds.

Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets....
Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...

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...
