Magnetic properties of amorphous Fe-Si compositionally modulated thin films

Abstract

The present paper reports on a magnetometric study of Fe‐Si compositionally modulated thin films. The low‐temperature dependence of the magnetization exhibit Bloch's T3/2 dependence with a minor T5/2 correction term. The spin‐wave stiffness constant deduced from the temperature coefficient depends on the characteristic modulation length and its values are much lower that in glassy alloys.
