Magnetic properties to TM80P20 glasses

Abstract

Saturation magnetic moments (4.2 K), room-temperature magnetizations, and some Curie temperatures are reported for several TM80P20 metallic glasses (TM=Fe, Co, and Ni). These data complement previously published results for TM80B20 glasses and confirm the model in which approximately 2.4 and 1.6 electrons/metalloid atom are transferred by P and B, respectively, to TM d states.
