Zc. Lu et al., MAGNETOVOLUME EFFECT OF AMORPHOUS FE-(CO, CR)-ZR ALLOYS, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 182, 1994, pp. 1001-1003
The thermal expansion curves and some magnetic properties of Fe90-xMxZ
r10 (M = Co, Cr) ternary amorphous alloys were measured, and the depen
dence on effective electron number N(eff) of the spontaneous volume ma
gnetostriction omega(s) and the average magnetic moment muBAR were obt
ained. The results show that the omega(s) has a maximum at N(eff) almo
st-equal-to 8.1-8.2 where the muBAR begins to decrease drastically. Th
is result provides experimental evidence that the Invar effect of the
metal-metal amorphous alloys is also related to the instability of the
ferromagnetism.
