Characterization of a Fe-Based Soft Magnetic Alloy System with High Saturation Magnetization
Abstract:
The ratios of Fe/Co and Fe/B in a ferromagnetic alloy system, Fe(87-x-y) Co(x) Ti7 Zr6 By (x = 20, 30, and 40 at% and y = 2 and 4 at%), which was produced by the melt-spinning technique in the form of thin ribbons, were investigated to improve the saturation magnetization. The thermal properties T(x) were in the range of 792.0 K to 838.0 K, and it decreased by decreasing Fe/Co ratio. In the as-spun amorphous ribbons, the saturation magnetization and coercivity ranged from 137.5 emu/g to 164.2 emu/g and from 0.027 Oe to 1.245 Oe, respectively. The optimum Fe/Co ratio for the Fe(83-x) Co(x) Ti7 Zr6 B4 system was determined to be 64:36. In other words, the optimum system was Fe60 Co25 Ti7 Zr6 B2, which exhibited robust soft magnetic properties, such as a low coercivity of 0.252 Oe, and high saturation magnetization of 164.2 emu/g (1.55 T). Also, in this system, magnetic properties such as the saturation magnetization and coercivity increased with decreasing Fe/Co ratio.

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
