This calls for methods of directly observing and quantifying static and dynamic domain structures. The following sections cover the most common domain observation techniques, roughly in chronological order of their first usage, which not surprisingly corresponds roughly according to their capability. These include powder techniques, optical methods such as the magneto-optical effect, magnetic force microscopy etc. They are all applicable for domain observation on any magnetic material but emphasis is placed on their relevance to electrical steels.","PeriodicalId":11535,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Steels - Volume 1: Fundamentals and basic concepts","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83918233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The magnetic material is produced commercially in the form of ribbon much thinner than any electrical steel, so eddy currents are naturally low under a.c. excitation. This, combined with inherent large resistivity, leads to low losses. No grain boundaries are present to impede domain wall motion, so hysteresis losses are low and very high permeability can be achieved. It was soon recognised that amorphous ribbon was indeed an exciting new class of engineering material which not only could replace conventional soft magnetic materials in many applications but could also satisfy magnetic requirements in entirely new applications.","PeriodicalId":11535,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Steels - Volume 1: Fundamentals and basic concepts","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79731422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is followed by a presentation of temperature characteristics of structure sensitive properties of some families of commercial soft magnetic materials.
