Abstract
Amorphous FeSiNbZrB alloy (metallic glass) ribbons were prepared by melt spinning and swift heavy ion (SHI) irradiation experiments were performed on the materials research terminal of the 320kV ECR platform at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP), Lanzhou. XRD, TEM and Mössbauer spectroscopy was used to reveal the irradiation-induced local crystallization, plastic deformation, damages and the magnetic moments rearrangements. The dimensions of our ribbons perpendicular to ion beam direction increased slightly , but the ribbon dimension along the ion beam shrunk; Irradiation of Xe-ions could cause local crystallization of amorphous FeSiNbZrB alloy ribbons and form finer α-Fe(Si) phases precipitations with diameter of 1–2nm; SHI irradiation could make the distribution of the magnetic moments of amorphous ribbons change their orientation from the in-plane orientation to the perpendicular one.
