P. Butvin et al., MAGNETIC-POLARIZATION AND MAGNETOSTRICTION IN NEARLY SATURATED FENBCUSIB ALLOYS, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 158, 1996, pp. 189-190
The continuous increase in the crystalline fraction with advancing iso
thermal treatment of nanocrystalline FeNbCuSiB is not found to be refl
ected in a corresponding increase in the magnetic polarization. The co
rrelation between the polarization and the magnetostriction has been q
ualitatively investigated. The results point to the role of changes in
the residual amorphous phase. The reliability of standard ac experime
nts in an extended field range has also been examined.
