E. Estevez-rams et al., Transmission electron microscopy study of structural disorder in Sm(Co0.5Cu0.5)(5) alloy, J ALLOY COM, 283(1-2), 1999, pp. 327-330
Transmission electron microscopy studies have been carried out in heat-trea
ted Sm(Co0.5Cu0.5)(5) samples. The occurrence of heavily planar faulted reg
ions have been observed. X-ray microanalysis shows a relative increase of S
m and Cu content in the faulted regions compared to the non-faulted ones. T
he origin and type of disorder is discussed from the crystallographic point
of view and related to the pinning magnetisation mechanism reported for th
is type of ahoy. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science S.A.
