Abstract

Methods for fabrication of Fe-Ga films and melt spun ribbons were investigated and their influence on microstructure and texture were explored. The materials were characterized by electron microprobe analysis, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Characterization of the films showed that composition varied linearly with position on the film and that all compositions have the disordered bcc structure. Mossbauer effect spectra show no evidence for the presence of long-range ordering, that may diminish the magnitude of the magnetostriction.
