It was shown that the primary phase MnBi crystals in the alloy aligned and oriented alongthe direction of the applied magnetic field. The orientating tendency and the average length of the elongated MnBicrystals increased with the increase of the applied field and the solidification time. Moreover, the remanence of thealloy along the aligned direction of the MnBi phase in the case of solidification with a magnetic field was apparentlyanisotropic and nearly double of that without the magnetic field. This indicated that the MnBi crystals orientedand aligned along their easy magnetization axis. A model was proposed to explain the alignment and orientationgrowth of the MnBi crystals in a magnetic field in terms of the magnetic anisotropy of the crystals and the magneticinteraction between them.展开更多

The ferromagnetic MnBi crystals are magnetized and rotate their c-axes parallel to the field. Then, the oriented crystals congregate and grow up under the influence of magnetic interactions so that the alignment structure of the rod-like MnBi phase is produced. It is found that the orientation of MnBi crystals occurs immediately when the heating temperature or magnetic intensity reaches a critical value and beyond the value the orientation factor Γ of the MnBi phase is increased with increasing the heating temperature and the magnetic intensity. The critical temperature for Bi-6%Mn alloy is 275 ℃ in a 1.0 T magnetic field and increases to 290 ℃ when the magnetic field intensity decreases to 0.1 T. When the alloys are hold at 275 ℃, the critical magnetic intensity for Bi-6%Mn alloy is 0.4T and 0.05 T for Bi-3%Mn alloy. The orientation and congregation of the MnBi crystals were analyzed in terms of the magnetic anisotropy of the crystals and their magnetic interactions.展开更多
