Abstract
AbstractThe ferromagnetic transition temperature Tc for Fe-Si-B amorphous alloys with iron concentration exceeding 75 atomic percent changes monotonically with the annealing time. This change of Tc is accompanied by a drastic change of the magnetic excitation spectrum measured by means of low angle neutron inelastic scattering. It was observed that a small amount of α-Fe(Si) precipitated in an amorphous matrix during the heat treatment even at relatively low temperatures, leading to a decrease of the spin-wave stiffness constant D. Because at the same time T, increases, the D/Tc ratio (which is about 0.3 for “as quenched” Fe-Si-B system) decreases abruptly.
