Natural ferromagnetic resonance (NFMR), hysteresis loops and X-ray diffract
ion have been studied in the Fe-rich microwires with a ratio rho of the met
allic nucleus diameter to the total diameter of the microwires ranging betw
een 0.1 and 0.4. Both coercivity, H-c, and frequency of the NFMR, omega(res
), increase as rho decreases. The splitting of omega(res) was explained fro
m the coexistence of crystalline and amorphous phases. (C) 1999 Elsevier Sc
