Abstract: The paper presents a description of a new chemical method for the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles of the intermetallic compound Nd₂Fe₁₄B, which consists of several stages. At the first stage, nanoparticles of neodymium oxide Nd₂O₃, iron oxide Fe₂O₃, and iron borate Fe₃BO₆ were synthesised by chemical deposition methods. At the second stage, the powders were mixed in the required proportion and reduced using a two-stage diffusion-reduction process: first, at 800°C in an Ar + 5% H₂ medium, and then, to form the Nd₂Fe₁₄B phase, the powder mixture was added calcium hydride powder, the resulting mixture was pressed into a tablet, and at 800°C in an Ar medium, the calci-thermal reduction-diffusion synthesis was carried out. At the third stage, Nd₂Fe₁₄B nanopowders were separated from calcium oxide CaO by washing the resulting product with a solution of ammonium hydroxide and ethanol NH₄Cl/C₂H₅OH. The phase composition, structure and morphology of the particles were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy. Particle sizes were determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The composition of nanoparticles was determined using an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). XRD results indicate a high efficiency of the proposed method for the preparation of nanopowders of the intermetallic compound Nd₂Fe₁₄B.
