Abstract TbFe 2 owing to its highest magnetostriction finds significant application in defence. However, its quality degradation due to oxidation poses an enormous challenge for being scaled up in a device. To this end, a detailed study by means of both the theory and experiment is performed here to understand the oxide-film overgrowth due to dry, thermal oxidation of TbFe 2 . Then these results are discussed and compared, which is found to be in agreement with each other. Understanding developed in this study would help in tuning the substrate constituents for higher temperature application, where oxidation of the substrate is a major concern.

TbFe 2 的氧化：理论和实验结合的氧化膜显微结构

摘要 TbFe 2 由于其最高的磁致伸缩在国防中具有重要的应用。然而，由于氧化导致的质量下降对在设备中按比例放大提出了巨大挑战。为此，本文通过理论和实验进行了详细研究，以了解由于 TbFe 2 的干热氧化导致的氧化膜过度生长。然后对这些结果进行讨论和比较，发现它们彼此一致。在这项研究中发展的理解将有助于调整基材成分以适应更高温度的应用，其中基材的氧化是一个主要问题。
