The nucleation, growth kinetics and atomic process of the preexisting α-(Fe, Co) and newly-formed SmCo 7 nanocrystals in the annealed nanocrystalline-amorphous Sm 10.9 Co 66.5 Fe 22.6 alloy have been investigated. The preexisting α-(Fe, Co) phase possesses a growth activation energy of E g= 0.6 eV, smaller than the nucleation activation energy E n= 0.8 eV and growth activation energy E g= 1.4 eV for the newly-formed SmCo 7 phase. This demonstrates an easy growth of the α-(Fe, Co) nanocrystals and a relatively difficult formation of the SmCo 7 phase, which leads to a large grain size for the α-(Fe, Co) soft phase in the α-(Fe, Co)/SmCo 7 nanocomposite magnets. The activation volumes Δ V g∗= 0.67 Ω and Δ V g∗= 0.99 Ω (Ω= average atomic volume) for the growth of α-(Fe, Co) and SmCo 7 nanocrystals were obtained, indicating that the atom diffusion during the growth of both the α-(Fe, Co) and the SmCo 7 are assisted by thermal vacancies. These findings provide a fundamental understanding to the crystallization of the SmCo based nanocomposite magnets.
