Abstract
The properties of permanent magnets based on RCo5 compounds arise from their strong uniaxial anisotropy. The anisotropy field at 4.2 K in YCo5 is about 200 kOe. A polarized neutron study of YCo5 revealed a very large orbital contribution to the magnetic moment on the CoI (2c) site, which indicates that the major part of the cobalt anisotropy originates from this site. The variations of the magnetic anisotropy of YCo5 which occur when different substitutional atoms (Ni, Fe, Co pairs) modify the ideal structure, are in agreement with this view.
