Abstract Series samples MnBi1-xGdx (x = 0, 0.04, 0.08, 0.12, and 0.16) were prepared and studied the structure and magnetic properties. The Rietveld refinement results showed that the low-temperature phase MnBi content in This article is part of the topical collection: Role of Nanotechnology and Internet of Things in Healthcare, Guest Editors: Florian Heberle, Steve bull and John Fitzgerald J.

these samples is above 78% and the doped atoms occupied the position of Bi in the MnBi crystal structure. The Debye temperature is founding to decrease with increasing doping. The Curie temperature, paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition temperature, thermal hysteresis, saturation magnetization, and coercive force of the samples change significantly with increasing doping content. Within a temperature range of 300–500 K, a positive coercivity temperature coefficient β existed. This work helps MnBi-Gd as a candidate for high-temperature magnetic material applications and contributes to the development of tailoring magnetic properties. Keywords MnBi doping .

Introduction

MnBi is a magnetic material with many unusual magnetic properties, such as permanent-magnet properties (high coercivity, high magnetic energy product), magneto-optical properties (Kerr effect), magneto caloric properties (magneto-caloric effect), and a magnetostrictive effect (Guo et al. 1990, 1991; Kishimoto and Wakai 1975). In addition, MnBi has a positive coercivity temperature coefficient from 150 to 550 K (Rama Rao and Hadjipanayis 2014; Kang et al. 2005; Yang et al. 2001). Therefore, MnBi has been the focus of researchers as a functional material, such as highperformance motors, low energy power electronics,

and wind turbines (Li et al. 2013; Ly et al. 2014; Shen et al. 2015). Also, it is considered to have great potential as a permanent-magnet material and used as special-purpose permanent-magnet material (Cao et al. 2011), such as at a high temperature and in a
