Magnetic and structural-properties of electrodeposited Co1-xPx amorphous ribbons

Abstract

The specific magnetic moment, coercive force, anisotropy field, and saturation magnetostriction constant have been measured in Co(1-x)P(x) amorphous ribbons with 0.04 less-than-or-equal-to x less-than-or-equal-to 0.27. Differential scanning calorimetry, x-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy analysis have been made in order to study the transition from the amorphous state to the crystalline one. Results suggest that transition takes place when x decreases from 0.19.
