A high-coercivity Zn-bonded Sm-Fe-N magnet is synthesized using spark plasma sintering. Optimal post-sinter annealing results in a large coercivity of 渭0Hc = 2.75 T. Transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography revealed the formation of a Sm-Fe-Zn-N phase on the particle surface and the presence of Fe3Zn10 at the grain boundaries, which are believed to be the cause of the enhanced coercivity.
