ac magnetoresistance (MR) measurements performed in thin ribbons of the amorphous soft ferromagnet Co70.4Fe4.6Si15B10 are reported with a longitudinal dc applied magnetic field H varying from 0 to ±15 Oe. The dependence of the MR with the frequency f of the measuring ac current was investigated for 0.4≤f≤100 kHz. No significant frequency dependence in the resistivity ρ for H=0 and H=±15 Oe was found. For intermediate values of H, ρ(H) presents a peak in H which increases linearly in frequency. The MR peak in H at room temperature varies from typical values of 0.13% in the low-frequency range to a giant value of 27% at 100 kHz. Two possible sources for the frequency dependence of the magnetoresistance in amorphous alloys are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
