Popis: Sm2Fe17 compounds are high-performance permanent magnets. Cobalt substitution allows us to further improve their magnetic properties. Depending on the thermal treatment, cobalt-substituted compounds can be synthesized either in the TbCu7 (disordered) or in the Th2Zn17 (ordered) structure type. Rietveld refinement of the number of transition metal dumbbells replacing rare-earth atoms from synchrotron powder diffraction data shows that the TbCu7 disordered structure has the same composition as the ordered one (a transition metal-to-rare earth ratio of 8.5). Then, cobalt site occupancies have been determined in both structures using synchrotron resonant (anomalous) diffraction. Cobalt is found to be absent from the dumbbell sites. The diffraction results are confirmed by Mossbauer spectroscopy.
