Abstract

Noninduced uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in Fe 1−xB x thin films of metallic glasses was studied for 26⩽ x⩽32. The samples were obtained by rf sputtering technique. Thickness and compositional dependence of uniaxial magnetic anisotropy was determined for films with thickness d⩽120 nm. The existence of the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy can be explained roughly by a directional alignment of free volume and directional order of atomic pairs in the vicinity of the free volume.
