Abstract
The use of a range of organic surface active substances in the ball mi lling of Co-Fe-Si-B has been studied by X-ray diffraction and Mossbaue r effect measurements. Effects characteristic of superparamagnetic rel axation of the magnetic moments are observed in the Mossbauer spectra of samples milled with either an anionic or a cationic surfactant. Thi s behaviour is linked with the decreased particle size and high shape homogeneity of surfactant-aided milled samples compared with the amorp hous powders resulting from standard dry milling. Impurity iron-oxide phases are also found to occur in samples milled in the presence of su rfactants.
