Abstract

The great number of different local environments in amorphous alloys leads to the evolution of complicated non collinear magnetic structures. Alloy additions can affect the magnetic structure in surprising ways. For example, replacement of a small amount of Fe with Co increases the saturation magnetization even though Co has a much smaller moment than Fe. The calculated behavior of the magnetic structure of (Fe(1-x)Mx) 0.8B0.2 with M=Co, Cr, Zr, and Mn2Zr are presented.
