Effect of quenching rate on crystallization in Fe73.5Si13.5B9Cu1Nb3 alloy

Influence of structure on the evolution of magnetic and mechanical properties of amorphous and nanocrystalline Fe85.4Hf1.4B13.2 alloy

“…The main grain size of the ␣Fe phase (D) was evaluated by using Sherrer's equation [26] from the half width of (1 1 0) reflection peak [27]. Crystallite sizes are given by formula [26]: D = 0.9 λ/B cos θ B , where: λ, B and θ B are, respectively, wavelength of X-ray, width and position of the peak.…”

Effect of preparation condition on the soft magnetic properties of FeCuNbSiB thin films

“…The two films have a higher amount of quenchedin-free volume, as indicated by a larger near neighbour distance. This higher quenched-in-free volume will result in a higher mobility of atoms and thus a reduction in the stability of the amorphous phase [14]. Further, a significant difference in the crystallisation behaviour of the two films suggests that there is some difference in their microstructure, which is not observable in the XRD pattern.…”

Effects of Thermal Annealing and Pulsed Photon Processing on the Magnetomechanical Properties of the Amorphous Fe79.3P18.2V2.5 Alloy

“…In rapidly quenched Fe-base alloys (such as FeBSi and FeBNbCuSi), the ∆ E effect is typically positive [5,6]: an applied magnetic field increases the modulus of elasticity. Some alloys (e.g., FeBNbTaCuSi), however, exhibit a negative ∆ E effect in the initial stages of magnetization, which then changes to positive [7].…”
