Mössbauer study of magnetic texture of Finemet-type ribbons

Abstract

Magnetic texture of amorphous Finemet-type alloys substituted by Co, Ni, Mn, Ge and V was investigated by means of Mössbauer spectroscopy using various angular configurations. Samples in form of ribbons were manufactured by single-roller melt spinning technique. In most of investigated alloys some preference of alignment of atomic magnetic moments in-plane of sample is stated, except of some alloys substituted by germanium in which slight tendency to out-of plane spin orientation is proved.
