Ov. Nielsen et al., TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF THE MAGNETOSTRICTION AND THE INDUCED ANISOTROPY IN NANOCRYSTALLINE FECUNBSIB ALLOYS, AND THEIR FLUXGATE PROPERTIES, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 30(2), 1994, pp. 1042-1044
Making use of the stress induced magnetic anisotropy in some iron-rich
FeCuNbSiB nanocrystalline materials we studied the thermal dependence
of their magnetostriction which becomes zero below the Curie temperat
ure. The choke of a suitable composition and annealing temperature res
ults in materials with zero magnetostriction at room temperature. Due
to the low magnetostriction these materials have very promising fluxga
te properties which were studied as well.
