Abstract The $\sigma$-T and d$\sigma$/dT-T curves of the FeCuNbSiB amorphous alloy, which are the relationship between "apparent weight loss" and tempera ture, are investigated by magnetic thermogravimetry analysis (MTGA) technique. It is found that the crystallization process of the samples can be divided into five stages. The studies of samples annealed in the temperature range of 480-610℃ for 1 h show that when the annealing temperature (Ta) is lower than 540℃, the quantity of nanocrystalline $\alpha$-Fe(Si) phase increases evidently with Ta, and the Curie temperature (Tc) of residual amorphous phase also increases linearly with Ta, i.e., Tc=0.52Ta+91.7℃, with correlation coefficient $\gamma$=0.98. The variation of volume fraction of $\alpha$-Fe(Si) nanocrystalline phase or residual amorphous phase with Ta is measured.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
