M. Hasiak et al., Microstructure and some magnetic properties of amorphous and nanocrystalline Fe-Cu-Nb-Si-B alloys, MAT SCI E A, 293(1-2), 2000, pp. 261-266
The microstructure and magnetic properties, i.e. saturation magnetic polari
zation, initial magnetic susceptibility and its disaccommodation, for the a
morphous and the partially crystallized Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9 ribbons aged a
t 733 K were studied. After accumulative annealing of the samples at 733 K,
the decrease of the initial susceptibility and increase of the disaccommod
ation intensities were observed. These are connected with the annealing out
of 'free volumes' in the amorphous matrix, which is the main source of the
magnetic after-effect in all investigated samples. (C) 2000 Elsevier Scien
