RECo₅ (RE = rare-earth) compounds are known as materials with high magnetocrystalline anisotropy [1]. They crystallize in the CaCu₅ structure type, space group P6/mmm. On searching for RE-free magnetic materials, which could replace the classical NdFeB magnets, MCo₅ type materials were considered as promising candidates. The existence of crystalline MCo₅ and MFe₅ (M = Bi, Ca, Zr) phases and their magnetic properties were explored. Here we report on the Bi-Co system. Samples with starting compositions 5:1 & 1:1 were subjected to high pressure (15.6 GPa) and temperature (900^∘C) in a multianvil press at DESY, Hamburg. The recovered products were characterized by X-ray diffraction with synchrotron radiation (ALS, Berkeley), SEM/EDX, and magnetic measurements. They proved to be a mixture of several crystalline phases, with the most prominent phase Bi₃Co [2]. The search for new phases was complemented by DFT calculations.
