All this magnets have the same energy !
Nanophased materials behave differently from their macroscopic counterparts
because their characteristic sizes are smaller than the characteristic length

 Fukunaga predicted a drastic increase in (BH)max of SmCo5/-Fe as a function of
-Fe fraction. The Dresden Group (Neu et al) obtained similar results in
SmCo5/Fe multilayers (Intermag 2012). Very recently Hono’s Group
fabricated Fe/Nd-Fe-B multilayers with (BH)m=61 MGOe (Advanced
Materials, 2012).

This behavior was connected with coercivity mechanism of the
SmCo3Cu2 phase given by the microstructure [1-2] and diminishing
of the intrinsic coercivity by Co substitution with Cu [3].

Conclusions
 MnBi LTP: large coercivity at high temperature  a good candidate for performance spring magnets
 MnAl: stabilisation of τ with conservation of Mn moments
 The structure and microstructure  strong impact on hard/soft exchange hardness.
 Intrinsic anisotropy
 the strength of the interphase exchange coupling
 Annealing linked to the recrystallisation temperature of soft phases and hard magnetic phases;
recover the crystallinity of the hard phase and hinder the increase of Fe crystallites.
 For higher α-Fe concentration the magnetic properties are pourer because non correlation with Fe
size crystallites.
 The short time annealing is more appropriate for higher coercivity of the nanocomposites.
