Abstract
The amorphous soft magnetic alloys were produced by magnetron sputtering of Fe-8 at %Zr target in Ar and Ar + 10%N-2 atlnOSpheTL'S as films 1.5-2.5 mu m thick. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that annealing of the films res ulted in formation of BCC Fe-based phase and additionally Fe,Zr in the Fe-Z r films. Amorphous phase in the Fe-Zr-N films is more thermostable in compa rison with that in the Fe-Zr ones. X-ray spectrum microanalysis showed that nitrogen content in the Fe-Zr-N films decreases significantly during vacuu m annealing. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserve d.
