Abstract
The magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the easy-plane compounds Y2Fe17, Y2Fe17N3 and Sm2Fe17 are measured. To simplify the analysis of the mag netisation data, the metallic powders are aligned in a magic cylinder device. Based on the Sucksmith-Thompson method, K-1 and K-2 are determ ined between 4.2 K and room temperature. The values are used to separa te the transition metal anisotropy contribution from the rare-earth co ntribution in Sm2Fe17.
