Abstract

Samples of Fe66Co18B15Si1, Fe40Ni38Mo4B18 and Fe72.6Cr22Al4.8Si0.3Y0.3 metallic glasses were irradiated with a pulsed alexandrite laser (λ=750 nm, τ=60 μs) using different laser fluences. Irradiation-induced structural and property modifications were characterized using Mössbauer spectroscopy. Complementary information was obtained from hysteresis loop measurements and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experimental data obtained demonstrate the key role played by the magnetostriction constant in explaining the mechanism of irradiation-induced phase transformations in amorphous magnets.
