Abstract
Bistable magnetic states with two equiprobable orientations of the magnetization vector (corresponding to opposite polarities of a permanent magnet) exist in (NdSmDy)(FeCo)B magnetic alloy in the vicinity of a spin-reorientation transition. A critical value of the magnetic field strength ~1 kOe is determined, at which switching of these bistable magnetic states takes place. It is established that the polarity of polycrystalline sintered magnets of the Nd2Fe14B family in the vicinity of a spin-reorientation transition can be stabilized by a small external bias magnetic field, which opens up new possibilities for using these magnets in cryomagnetic systems.
