M. Knobel et al., Circular magnetic dichroism in Fe78-xNixSi8B14 (15 <= x <= 58) ferromagnetic amorphous ribbons, J MAGN MAGN, 233(1-2), 2001, pp. 78-83
Fe78-xNixSi8B14 (15 less than or equal tox less than or equal to 58) amorph
ous ribbons were investigated by means of macroscopic magnetic characteriza
tion and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). The XMCD spectra were ta
ken at the K and L edges of Fe and Ni, from which several indications of th
e local magnetic character of the alloy can be inferred. In both configurat
ions, the spectra at Ni-edges display the same typical characteristic obser
ved near Fe-edges, indicating that the amorphous alloy still behaves as a w
eak ferromagnet, with unfilled majority d-bands. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science
