EFFECT OF MAGNETIC FIELD-AND TENSIONANNEALING ON MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF AN Fe_(78)Si_(10)B_(12) METALLIC GLASS

A study was made of the effect of magnetic field-and tension-annealing under temperature below T_c on the permeability of an Fe_(78)Si_(10)B_(12) metallic glass. Two anisotropies induced by magnetization and by strain were observed with K_(um)>0 and K_(us)<0 respectively. The variations of K_(um) and K_(us) with the magnetization and the strain respectively during anneals are reversible basically.
