  • 随着钕铁硼(NdFeB)磁体应用拓展,其服役性能要求不断提高,掺杂调控是提升性能的有效手段,但对磁晶取向及磁性能的微观影响机制尚不清晰。本文采用第一性原理计算方法,研究了Nd8Fe56B4材料A位(Nd位)单、双元素掺杂后的磁性调控机制,构建Nd6Mg2Fe56B4和Nd6MNFe56B4(M,N=Mg、Ni、Cu、Zn、Dy)模型,分析掺杂对体系总磁矩、自旋投影态密度及磁晶取向的影响。研究表明,Ni掺杂可翻转部分Nd原子磁矩,使Nd6Ni2Fe56B4总磁矩提升至138.301μB,其他单元素掺杂影响不显著;双原子掺杂Nd6CuMg56B4和Nd6CuNiFe56B4的总磁矩相比Nd8Fe56B4略有增加,源于掺杂元素削弱Nd 4g位磁矩并与Fe 3d轨道产生耦合。Dy单掺可使易磁轴由100转为111,Cu-Ni共掺可使易磁轴由100转为001体现双掺协同效应。自旋投影态密度分析表明,掺杂元素通过调控3d-3d/4f轨道杂化等决定磁矩演化。本工作为NdFeB磁体设计提供掺杂技术路线,揭示微观影响机制,为高性能、低重稀土NdFeB材料提供理论依据。

     

    With the expanding applications of NdFeB magnets, increasingly stringent requirements have been placed on their operational performance. Elemental doping is an effective approach to enhance these properties; however, the intrinsic microscopic mechanisms by which doping influences the magnetic moment and magnetocrystalline anisotropy remain unclear, limiting the development of high-performance, low-heavy-rare-earth NdFeB materials. In this work, first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) were systematically performed using the VASP software package. A Nd8Fe56B4 supercell was adopted as the model system, and single-atom doping at the Nd sites (A sites, Nd6M2Fe56B4, M = Mg, Ni, Cu, Zn, Dy) as well as dual-atom co-doping systems (Nd6MNFe56B4, M, N = Mg, Ni, Cu, Zn, Dy) were constructed. For all configurations, total magnetic moments, spin-projected density of states, magnetocrystalline anisotropy energies, and easy magnetization axes were quantitatively calculated and analyzed in depth. The results show that Ni single doping can reverse the magnetic moment of Nd at the 4g site, leading to a substantial increase in the total magnetic moment of Nd6Ni2Fe56B4 to 138.301 μB, whereas other single-element dopants have negligible impact on the total magnetic moment. The total magnetic moment is effectively enhanced in Nd6CuMgFe56B4 and Nd6CuNiFe56B4 due to the weakening of the Nd 4g magnetic moment and its coupling with Fe 3d orbitals induced by the dopants. Regarding magnetocrystalline anisotropy, Dy single doping reorients the easy axis from 111 to 100, while Cu-Ni co-doping induces a transition of the easy axis from 100 to 001 through synergistic elemental effects. Spin-projected density of states analyses confirm that the dopants modulate the hybridization between Fe 3d and Nd 4f orbitals, the local electronic states, and spin polarization near the Fermi level, thereby precisely controlling the evolution of magnetic moments and magnetocrystalline anisotropy. This study elucidates the intrinsic electronic mechanisms underlying doping-induced magnetic property modulation in NdFeB magnets, providing a reliable theoretical pathway and scientific guidance for the targeted design of high-performance NdFeB magnets with reduced reliance on heavy rare-earth elements..
