Abstract
Changes in magnetic structures with annealing are studied using Lorentz electron microscopy and are correlated with changes in magnetic properties for the Co71.4 Fe4.6 Si9.6 B14.4 amorphous alloy. Domain wall stabilization is shown to be the dominant factor resulting in decreasing μ and increasing Hc and K during low temperature annealing. Annealing near Tc results in an isotropic magnetic structure due to domain wall relaxation, and annealing above Tcry results in magnetically hard crystalline particles. It is concluded that treatments capable of producing a magnetically isotropic structure can produce the best soft magnetic materials.
