Structural relaxation in amorphous metallic glasses studied by the change of Curie temperature

Experimental results show that most of the physical properties of the metallic glass ribbons depend on the processing conditions. Here, the variation of Curie temperature will be investigated as a function of quenching conditions. Though these alterations are relatively small compared with the change obtained during structural relaxation, the quenched-in differences are conserved in the specimens even after high temperature annealing near the glass transition.
