TLDR
In this paper, the effects of terbium additives on the microstructure and magnetic properties of Fe83Ga17Tbx alloys (x = 0, 0.2, 0., 0.4, 0, 6, and 0.8) were investigated.
Abstract
We present the effects of terbium additives upon the microstructure and magnetic properties of Fe83Ga17Tbx alloys (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8), prepared by vacuum electric arc-melting and directional solidification techniques. Experiments indicate that small amounts of terbium more than double the saturation magnetostriction of a [110] textured Fe83Ga17 alloy with λ = 72 × 10−6 and lower the magnetostriction saturation field. The pronounced increase in magnetostriction stems from the appearance of [100] texture in polycrystalline alloys. It is verified that [110] and [100] textures are enhanced by the introduction of terbium atoms preferentially residing in a Tb-rich intergranular phase.

Giant heterogeneous magnetostriction in Fe–Ga alloys: Effect of trace element doping

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that melt-spun, (001) textured Fe83Ga17 ribbons contain 3-nm inclusions with c-axis Ga-Ga pairs aligned in a tetragonal L60-type structure; the induced tetragonality of the entire A2 matrix is observed directly by synchrotron X-ray diffraction.

Influence of Tb on structure and properties of Fe-19%Ga and Fe-27%Ga alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of microalloying by Tb on structure and some properties of Fe-19%Ga and Fe-27%Ga type alloys was studied and it was shown that the addition of Tb stabilize bcc-born phases (A2, B2 and D0 3 ) and prevent the appearance of closed packed (fcc ordered L1 2 and hcp ordered D0 19 ) phases.

Extraordinary magnetoelasticity and lattice softening in bcc Fe-Ga alloys

TL;DR: In this article, a single maximum in the magnetoelastic coupling |b1| of Fe with increasing amounts of nonmagnetic Ga, combined with a strongly temperature dependent elastic shear modulus (c11−c12) is interpreted as anomalous magnetostrictive behavior in Fe-Ga alloys.

Phase equilibria and stability of ordered b.c.c. phases in the Fe-rich portion of the Fe–Ga system

TL;DR: In this paper, phase equilibria among the A2, B2, D03, L12 and D019 phases were determined by transmission and scanning electron microscopies (TEM and SEM) and energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), mainly using a conventional diffusion couple (DC) technique.
