Fe2P (iron phosphide) alloys have garnered significant interest in recent years due to their potential applications in permanent magnet materials, particularly in the context of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies. We have sought to tailor the magnetic properties, such as magnetization, coercivity, and Curie temperature, to meet the specific requirements of rare-earth-free permanent magnets for various industrial sectors. In this work, we review recent advancements in the exploration of substitutions (Si, Co, Mn, and Ni) within Fe2P alloys aimed at enhancing their magnetic performance as candidates for permanent magnets. The X-ray patterns of (Fe,Co)2P show great crystallinity with a pure Fe2P phase even with Mn and Ni substitutions. The Fe2P structure crystallizes in the P-62m space group. It has been confirmed that the transition metals substitute the 3g Fe-site, sometimes with adverse effects regarding magnetic properties with Co vs. Ni substitution, and that Si substitutes the 2c P-site. The saturation magnetization increases (MS=87 Am2/kg) with Mn substitution, while the Curie temperature decreases with these substitutions. The impact of various substitutional elements on the magnetic properties of Fe2P alloys is highlighted, and challenges encountered in this field are reported. Full article

La-Co-doped ferrite is widely used due to its excellent magnetic properties, but the mechanisms of La-Co doping on its phase formation and magnetic properties remain unclear. This study clarifies the phase formation mechanisms and reveals that La-Co doping reduces the formation temperatures of the intermediate phase SrFeO3−x and thus the final SrFe12O19 phase. This promotes complete formation of SrFe12O19, enhancing saturation magnetization. The unexpected change in coercivity after La-Co doping contradicts the variation in the determined magnetocrystalline anisotropy field. We identify that it arises from the La-Co doping lowering the formation temperature of SrFe12O19, leading to excessive particle growth. Full article
