Abstract
Melt-spun Cu80Co10Fe10 ribbons are shown to exhibit a nanogranular structur e with magnetic alpha-Fe(Co) grains segregated from the Cu-rich matrix afte r appropriate annealing. The Cu matrix purification as well as the magnetic properties of the alpha-Fe(Co) grains existing in a range of sizes are stu died using X-ray diffraction, Mossbauer spectrometry and magnetic measureme nts. There is an optimum annealing for obtaining a high magnetoresistive ef fect. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
