GdCo
GdCo refers to a binary alloy composed of Gadolinium (Gd) and Cobalt (Co). These alloys exhibit interesting magnetic properties, particularly when the composition and processing are controlled. Gadolinium is a rare earth element known for its strong paramagnetism at room temperature and ferromagnetism below its Curie temperature. Cobalt is a transition metal that is ferromagnetic at room temperature. The combination of these elements in an alloy can lead to materials with tunable magnetic behaviors.
GdCo alloys can be synthesized through various methods, including sputtering, evaporation, and arc melting. The resulting
One of the notable properties of some GdCo alloys is the presence of a compensation temperature. This
