Abstract
The microstructures of Sm2 Fe17 Nx (0≪x≪6) powders were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Sm2 Fe17 N23 powders nitrided in N2 gas have high dislocation densities due to lattice expansion. Sm2 Fe17 Nx powders nitrided in a mixture of NH3 and H2 gases (3≪x≪6) have cell-like structures. The dislocation density increases and the cell diameter decreases with increasing N content, and Sm2 Fe17 N5.9 powders consist of 30 to 50 nm in diameter Sm2 Fe17 Nx microcrystalline grains surrounded by an amorphous phase. Sm2 Fe17 powders nitrided above 600°C dissociate into SmN and ¿-Fe phases with characteristic sizes of 10 to 20 nm.
