Description
Summary:Annealing temperature of reactive sintering of MnBi was optimized. The highest fraction of MnBi phase was obtained to be 93wt.% at annealing temperature of 280°C. Magnetic field effects on solid- and liquid-state sintering of MnBi were described. The reacted fraction of MnBi was enhanced by the application of magnetic field of 15 T for solid- state sintering. In contract, reacted fraction was not influenced by magnetic field for liquid-state sintering. Both of in- field solid- and liquid-state sintered samples realized the highly crystal orientation of MnBi phase along the applied magnetic field direction. The Lotgering factor of the MnBi phase was obtained to be 1.0 for both in-field sintered samples, which was an “almost complete” uniaxial orientation. Due to the crystal orientation, anisotropic magnetic properties exhibited. The anisotropy field of the bulk sample was evaluated to be 4 T at room temperature, which also suggested the uniaxial orientation of the sample.
