Serrated magnetic properties in metallic glass by thermal cycle |
(color online) Illustration of the relationships between rejuvenation, aging and structure, Hc, Bm and density; the rejuvenation and aging cause the structure to change. The rejuvenation reduces structural correlation length and average anisotropy constant 〈K〉 and then Hc will decrease, whereas magnetic induction Bm will increase. The aging increases the structural correlation length and causes the contrary phenomena. Ki, Di (i = r,a,n) denote anisotropy constant and structural correlation length for i-th state, where r, a, n are rejuvenated, aged and annealed state, respectively. |
