Synthesis of Samarium-Cobalt Sub-micron Fibers and Their Excellent Hard Magnetic Properties

High-throughput synthesis of Samarium-Cobalt sub-micron fibers with controlled composition and dimension was demonstrated by combining electrospinning and reduction-diffusion processes. The composition of fibers was readily varied (8 < Sm < 20 at.%) by adjusting precursor composition w...
