EXAFS analysis of short-range rearrangement during transition from the amorphous to the crystalline phase in ferromagnetic metallic glass

The local structure around Fe ions oil ferromagnetic alloy Fe62.5Ni7.5Co6Zr6Cu1Nb2B15 has been investigated by X-ray absorption spectroscope as a function of annealing temperature, Well helms the first crystallization temperature, all evident rearrangement of the Fe structural environment. foreboding the formation of alpha-Fe crystallites, was pointed out, This structural development is the determining factor to obtain the hest magnetic and magnetoelastic softness, (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
