Abstract

CoSm permanent magnets are characterized by high coercivity, which is due to the formation of a cellular nanostructure. For the understanding and optimization of these magnets, the evolution and morphology of the cellular structure need to be analyzed, most commonly by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Meanwhile, high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is enabling the visualization and large-scale imaging of the nanostructure while requiring relatively little preparation effort, combined with easy sample handling. Different preparation techniques will be used to visualize different microstructural constituents, enabling the analysis of their morphologies and fractions.

Kurzfassung

CoSm-basierte Dauermagnete zeichnen sich durch hohe Koerzitivfeldstärken aus, welche in der Ausbildung einer zellularen Nanostruktur begründet sind. Zum Verständnis und zur Optimierung dieser Magnete muss die Entstehung und Morphologie der zellularen Struktur analysiert werden. Bisher wurde hierzu vorwiegend die Transmissionselektronenmikroskopie (TEM) eingesetzt. Die hochauflösende Rasterelektronenmikroskopie (REM) bietet inzwischen die Möglichkeit, mit relativ geringem Präparationsaufwand und einfachem Probenhandling die Nanostruktur zu visualisieren und großflächig abzubilden. Durch unterschiedliche Präparationsmethoden können unterschiedliche Gefügebestandteile sichtbar gemacht werden, welche anschließend hinsichtlich ihrer Anteile und Morphologie untersucht werden können.
