The microstructure and magnetic properties of nano-scale Fe magnetic particles precipitated in a Cu–Fe alloy

چکیده
The evolution of nano-scale Fe particles precipitated in a Cu–Fe alloy has been examined from the viewpoint of the relationship between the microstructure and magnetic properties, using conventional, high-resolution and Lorentz electron microscopy, and magnetic measurements. It has been revealed that spherical Fe particles have a tendency to align along the <001> direction in a Cu matrix at the early stage of precipitation. A twin-like structure developed when spherical Fe particles grew to approximately 40 to 60 nm in size. Lorentz microscopy was successfully applied to determine the direction and magnitude of the magnetic momentum of Fe particles.

The effect of Cu addition on the soft magnetic properties of FeZrSi amorphous alloy was investigated by X-ray analysis, TEM observation, and B-H curve tracer. As a melt-spun amorphous ribbon sample was annealed above the crystallization onset temperature, very fine ¡-Fe particles smaller than 315 nm were precipitated and uniformly distributed in an amorphous matrix. Cu addition to FeZrSi am...

Co-Fe films were electrodeposited on Cu substrate from electrolytes with different Co concentration levels. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to investigate the films crystal structures. The results indicate that if the Co concentration is less that the Fe concentration, the cubic structure appears in the films, while the hexagonal structure dominates when the C...
