Abstract:
A study of the magnetic domain structure of (Sm, Gd, Er)Co5 magnet by magneto-optical Kerr effect is presented. Two samples with different intrinsic eoercive forces are compared one another in their variations in the domain structure during different stages of magnetization and demagnetization.The results indicate that the coercivity of the magnet made of this kind of magnetic material is mainly controlled by nucleation mechanism. Hence, to improve its magnetic properties, the reversal magnetized nucleation must be restrained. In practise, it can be done by keeping the composition of magnetic materials accurate and homogeneous, increasing the density of the magnet, decreasing the content of impurity and hole, etc.
