The magnetization variation with a temperature of Y/sub x/Fe/sub 80-x/B/sub 20/ and Y/sub x/Co/sub 70-x/B/sub 30/ amorphous ribbons has been investigated. For an accurate description of the low temperature behaviour of magnetic properties the spin wave theory has been used. The value of the spin wave stiffness constant, D, was calculated for all investigated samples. For the ferromagnetic Y-Co-B alloys D is a linear function of Curie temperature, T/sub C/. An analogous relation for asperomagnetic Y-Fe-B ribbons was not found. >

The influence of Y and Pr on the magnetic properties of amorphous Y x Fe 80- x B 20 ( x = 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8) and Pr x Fe 80- x B 20 ( x = 2, 4 and 6) was investigated by Mossbauer spectroscopy and by magnetic measurements. It was found that the averaged value of 57 Fe hyperfine magnetic field, the value of the saturation magnetization and the Curie temperature decrease with the increase in Y or Pr content.

The radio-frequency (rf) collapse of the magnetic hyperfine structure in the Mossbauer spectra is employed to study changes in the short-range order in amorphous metals via the electric quadropole hyperfine interaction. The structural changes in amorphous Fe 80- x R x B 20 (where R = Y, Sm, Pr) alloys were studied in detail as a function of x . It was found that such substitutions induce considerable changes in the short-range order. A low concentration of substituting atoms ( x x >4) lead to collective changes in the structure.

The influence of the partial substitution of iron by copper or chromium on the crystal and magnetic properties of Y2Fe14B has been investigated with X-ray diffraction, magnetometric and Mossbauer effect methods. The substitution of iron by chromium results in the linear decrease in both the a and c lattice constants. The opposite effect is observed when iron is replaced by copper. The Curie temperature decreases when iron is substituted by chromium but it increases when copper replaces iron. The substitution process leads to a decrease in saturation magnetization of both series of compounds. In contrast to copper, the substitution of chromium for iron has a great influence on the 57Fe hyperfine magnetic fields which cannot be accounted for by the random distribution of the substituent atoms among iron crystal sites.

L'influence de Y sur la resistivite des alliages etudies est qualitativement similaire a celle des ions de terres rares magnetiques. L'influence de Y sur la magnetoresistance est plus petite que pour les atomes de terres rares, mais le caractere des changements est similaire

The resistivity and magnetoresistance of RxCo70-xB30 and RxFe80-xB20 (R = Y, Pr, Sm, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm; 0 ≤ x ≤ 8) amorphous alloys are investigated. The transverse magnetoresistance increases with growth of x in all investigated ribbons and the temperature resistivity coefficient becomes negative. The positive slope of the magnetoresistance in all ribbons with Co and for some ribbons with Fe is caused by the magnetic structure of the investigated alloys and by the band effects.

The value of the saturation magnetostriction, λs, SmxFe80−xB20 at room temperature decreases from 37×10-6 for x=1 to 12×10-6 for x=9. The relation between the value of λs, and topological short-range order (SRO) in terms of the two-ion model of magnetostriction is discussed. The position of two neighbouring radial distribution function maxima points out that the first coordinating zone is composed of two sub-zones. The number and distances between the nearest neighbours Sm-Fe and Fe-Fe in the ribbons are analogous to the local symmetry in the SmFe2 crystalline phase with a very large magnetostriction of −1560×10-6.

Radio-frequency (rf) collapse of the magnetic hyperfine structure in the Mossbauer spectra is employed to study directly the changes in the short range order in amorphous Fe80−xLaxB20 alloys via the electric quadruple hyperfine interaction. Substitution of iron by the much larger La atoms induced collective changes in the structure.

The results of magnetic and structural measurements performed on the Nd 2 Fe 14- x Nb x B and Nd 2 Fe 12- x Nb x Co 2 B compounds with 0 ⪅ x ⪅ 0.5 are presented.
