Abstract
The structures of Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9 alloys annealed in the temperat ure range 400-600-degrees-C for 30 min are investigated by X-ray diffr action and positron annihilation spectroscopy. The grain size and the lattice parameter of the alpha-Fe(Si) phase in the alloys annealed at different temperatures are determined. The variations of the Si conten t in die nanocrystalline alpha-Fe(Si) phase with the annealing tempera tures are obtained for the alloys. With T(a) increasing, the positron lifetime tau1 and the intensity ratio I1/I2 decrease, which indicates that the residual amorphous phase is changed in both composition and s tructure. The relationship between the structural characteristics and the magnetic properties for the alloys is discussed.
