Abstract

We have studied amorphous Co 80-x Gd x B 20 alloys prepared by melt spinning technique. These alloys are magnetically soft attaining saturation in fields on the order of 1 tesla. The Gd moment is found to be 7μ B indicating a collinear spin structure. The Co moment decreases with increasing Gd content. Even under external fields up to 15 tesla the antiferromagnetic coupling GdCo is stable. The temperature dependence of the magnetization is described satisfactorily by the mean field theory model.
