The temperature dependence of coercive field Hc of the FeCo-based soft magnetic alloy associated with the microstructure has been investigated and correlated with microstructural features, such as structural ordering, second phases, and the grain size. An increase in the structural ordering parameter, determined by neutron diffraction, reduces the coercive field Hc. Lorenz microscopy observation indicates that the second phases and the grain boundaries act as pinning sites for the magnetic domain wall movement, thus increase the coercive field Hc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
