Abstract

This study investigates the magnetoimpedance (MI) behaviour and its dependence on the nanocrystalline structure due to annealing of nominal composition Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9 metallic glass ribbons. Differential Thermal Analyses have shown two distinct stages of primary and secondary crystallisations at ∼532 °C and ∼703 °C, respectively. XRD, SEM and AFM have shown the evidence of nanocrystallization and surface roughness initiated by changes from glassy to primary crystalline state. Coercivity has decreased near the primary crystallisation temperature and a monotonous increase between the two stages of crystallisation. Beyond the secondary crystallization temperature, the coercivity value remained practically unchanged. Magnetoimpedance ratio (MIR) is found to be sensitive to the annealing temperature.
