Strong ferromagnetic materials at room temperature are of interest for various magnetic applications such as magnetic recording, sensors, and motors. Gigantic magnetism expected for alpha ''-Fe16N2 thin films had been attracted much attention in terms of its large magnetization per weight in comparison to rare earth iron nitrides R2Fe17N3 because these films are made of only iron and nitrogen. It developed much straggling on iron nitride thin film research but inconsistent results were obtained using different preparation methods. A powdered ot alpha ''-Fe16N2-like compound was prepared by the ammonolysis of fine Fe powder in low temperature below 200 degrees C to clarify the confusion; the magnetism was not large in alpha ''-Fe16N2 itself but was increased in the intermediate ammonolysis dual-phase mixture product of the alpha ''-Fe16N2-like compound and residual alpha ''-Fe. A way to control the magnetic coercivity was subsequently investigated to utilize the larger magnetization in the alpha ''-Fe16N2-like compound mixture as magnetic materials similarly to Sm2Fe17N3 bonded magnet. Iron nitrides, zinc blende type alpha ''-FeN and rock-salt type gamma ''-FeN, also decompose at around 500 degrees C. Thermal decomposition was a disadvantage in the preparation of the iron nitrides; however, iron nanoparticles dispersed composites in AIN matrix were derived from the iron nitrides (Fe,Al)N by thermal treatment including laser heating. Iron nitrides are thus promising magnetic materials for their potential applications in science and technology. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
