The rising demand for sustainable energy increases the need for rare-earth-free high-performance permanent magnets. The intermetallic compound Fe₃Y is a promising candidate due to its high saturation magnetization and Curie temperature. However, its intrinsic easy-plane magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) hinders its use as a permanent-magnet material. Here, we combine first-principles density functional theory, spin-dynamics and micromagnetic simulations to explore mechanisms for reorienting the MCA toward a desired uniaxial direction through selective transition-metal doping. Our results show that Fe-site substitution, particularly with V, Zn, Nb, and Ta reverses the MCA to a uniaxial, reaching values up to 2 MJ/m³, while the Curie temperature remains unaffected by these dopants. Micromagnetic simulations reveal dopant-specific hysteresis trends and indicate that the systems maintain stability in low-temperature regimes.
