(color online) (a) Relation between and at 1 kHz for amorphous Fe and Co based alloys, nano-crystalline Fe–M–B based alloys, nano-crystalline Fe–Si–B–Nb–Cu alloys, Mn–Zn ferrite, and silicon steels.[193] With permission from Materials Transactions.

The double arrows indicate the randomly fluctuating anisotropy axis; the hatched area represents the ferromagnetic correlation volume determined from the exchange length within which the orientation m of the magnetization is constant.[195] With permission from Acta Materialia.

The magnetization direction is color coded to the color wheel in the inset. The ribbon’s long axis is horizontal.[208] With permission from Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials.

Copyright 2009 The Japan Institute of Metals and Materials. (e) Experimental small-angle neutron scattering data and fits for the Fe Si B7CuNb3 system with 2 vol.% Fe80Si20 precipitates. The inset shows the magnetic scattering length density. , , and , are the magnetic scattering length density of the core, shell, and amorphous matrix, respectively.[248] Reproduced with permission of the International Union of Crystallography.
