Abstract
Nanocrystalline alloys have attracted tremendous attention due to their excellent soft magnetic properties, especially low coercivity and high permeability. However, the formation of fine nanocrystalline grains relies on rapid annealing, which makes the nanocrystalline alloys difficult to apply in industrial production. In this study, Co66Fe3Cr3Si18B10 alloy ribbons with ultra-fine nanocrystalline structure were prepared through a novel preparation method via critical cooling rate melt-spinning and conventional annealing. The microstructure evolution of the ribbons was characterized by XRD, DSC, and TEM, and the formation mechanism of the ultra-fine nanocrystalline structure was discussed. It was found that fine and densely distributed medium-range order quenched-in clusters formed at the near-critical cooling rate, and clusters grew into nanocrystalline grains with a uniform size of 4.81 ± 1.05 nm after annealing for 60 min. The nanocrystallized alloy exhibits a low coercivity of 0.43 A/m and a high initial permeability of 12.44 × 104.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials provides an important forum for the disclosure and discussion of original contributions covering the whole spectrum of topics, from basic magnetism to the technology and applications of magnetic materials. The journal encourages greater interaction between the basic and applied sub-disciplines of magnetism with comprehensive review articles, in addition to full-length contributions. In addition, other categories of contributions are welcome, including Critical Focused issues, Current Perspectives and Outreach to the General Public.
Main Categories:
Full-length articles:
Technically original research documents that report results of value to the communities that comprise the journal audience. The link between chemical, structural and microstructural properties on the one hand and magnetic properties on the other hand are encouraged.
In addition to general topics covering all areas of magnetism and magnetic materials, the full-length articles also include three sub-sections, focusing on Nanomagnetism, Spintronics and Applications.
The sub-section on Nanomagnetism contains articles on magnetic nanoparticles, nanowires, thin films, 2D materials and other nanoscale magnetic materials and their applications.
The sub-section on Spintronics contains articles on magnetoresistance, magnetoimpedance, magneto-optical phenomena, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), and other topics related to spin current control and magneto-transport phenomena. The sub-section on Applications display papers that focus on applications of magnetic materials. The applications need to show a connection to magnetism.
Review articles:
Review articles organize, clarify, and summarize existing major works in the areas covered by the Journal and provide comprehensive citations to the full spectrum of relevant literature.
