摘要
In this study,molten salt was used as a solvent for calcium(Ca)to let a reduction-diffusion(R-D)reaction occur below the melting point of Ca(1115 K),which is the lower limit temperature of the co nventional RD process.When the R-D reaction is conducted below 923 K with LiCl molten salt,submicron-sized TbCu_(7)-type Sm-Fe powder is formed.The c/a ratio of the powder estimated by a synchrotron X-ray diffraction pattern is 0.8456,which is consistent with the Sm_(0.67)Fe_(5.667)(SmFe_(8.5))phase.An electron backscatter diffraction analysis reveals that single-crystalline TbCu_(7)-type SmFe_(8.5) powder was synthesized for the first time.
