摘要

A magnetic material may include α″-Fe₁₆(N_xZ_1-x)₂ or a mixture of α″-Fe₁₆N₂ and α″-Fe₁₆Z₂, where Z includes at least one of C, B, or O, and x is a number greater than zero and less than one. In some examples, the magnetic material including α″-Fe₁₆(N_xZ_1-x)₂ or a mixture of α″-Fe₁₆N₂ and α″-Fe₁₆Z₂ may include a relatively high magnetic saturation, such as greater than about 219 emu/gram, greater than about 242 emu/gram, or greater than about 250 emu/gram. In addition, in some examples, the magnetic material including α″-Fe₁₆(N_xZ_1-x)₂ or a mixture of α″-Fe₁₆N₂ and α″-Fe₁₆Z₂ may include a relatively low coercivity. Techniques for forming the magnetic material are also described.
