Domain wall motion in magnetically soft metallic glasses

Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

The magnetic domains on the surface of amorphous alloys of the composition Fe40Ni40B20 and Fe50Ni30B20 were observed by means of the scanning electron microscope. The details of the experimental arrangement are described that enhance the s.c. type II magnetic contrast and enable us to apply a static magnetic field in the plane of the sample. The displacement of the domain walls under the influence of the applied field were measured and are discussed.

Additional information

Dedicated to Dr. Svatopluk Krupička on the occasion of his 65th birthday.

One of the authors (K. Z.) is grateful to Dr. S. Krupička who initiated him in the field of magnetization processes and never lost patience with him in numerous discussions in the course of several decades. We also benefited from the discussions with Dr. I. Tomáš after the presentation of our preliminary results at the Second Czechoslovak-Soviet Symposium on the Physics of Magnetic Domains in May 1986.
