R. Varga et al., Influence of Pr on stability of magnetic and structural properties of amorphous and nanocrystalline PrFeCuNbSiB alloys, J MAGN MAGN, 197, 1999, pp. 227-229
The influence of Pr on the amorphous as well as nanocrystalline PrFeCuNbSiB
alloys were investigated. The temperature dependence of the AC-susceptibil
ity was measured up to 823 K. MAE measurements were done to investigate the
influence of Pr on the time effect of magnetic domains from 77 K to T-c. D
SC measurements and X-ray diffraction are used in order to study the crysta
llization behaviour. Due to Pr, the Curie temperature decreases in the amor
phous Finemet-type alloy however it elevates the crystalization temperature
. Moreover, the addition of Pr decreases the amplitude of the magnetic rela
xation in amorphous alloys. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reser
