Analysis of the Thermal and Magnetic Properties of Amorphous Fe 61Co10Zr2.5Hf2.5Me2W2B20 (Where Me = Mo, Nb, Ni Or Y) Ribbons

The paper presents the results of structural and magnetic properties and thermal stability for a group of functional materials based on Fe61Co10Zr2.5Hf2.5Me2W2B20 (where Me = Mo, Nb, Ni or Y). Samples were obtained in the form of ribbons using melt-spinning method. The X-ray diffraction patterns of investigated samples confirmed their amorphous structure. Based on the analysis of DSC curves characteristic temperatures: glass forming temperature (Tg), crystallization temperature (Tx) and temperature range of the supercooled liquid ΔTx were determined. Small addition of transition metals elements has strong influence on magnetic and thermal parameters of studied materials. The comprehensive studies revealed that in terms of magnetic properties the Ni-addition resulted in highest reduction in coercivity and anisotropy field

Magnetic properties and surface domain structure of (Nd0.85Dy0.15)10Fe83Zr1B6 thin ribbons

In this paper, the nanocrystalline (Nd0.85Dy0.15)10Fe83Zr1B6 ribbons produced by melt-spinning have been investigated by the X-ray diffraction method (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and magnetic force microscopy (MFM). The XRD studies showed that material investigated was mainly composed of Re2Fe14B and α-Fe phases with fine grain sizes of 25 and 9 nm, respectively. The magnetic parameters determined from the hysteresis loop measurements are as follows: μ0HC = 0.96 T, μ0MR = 0.76 T, μ0MS = 1.09 T, (BH)max = 88 kJ/m3. The large remanence ratio (μ0MR/μ0MS) of 0.7 results from the exchange coupling between the soft and hard magnetic grains. The large surface interaction domains revealed by MFM confirmed the existence of strong exchange coupling between nanosize grains
