The temperature dependence of the magnetization for Fe88Zr7B4Cu1 amorphous alloy has been measured. M(T) has been fit using a Handrich–Kobe model with a modified Brillouin function with an additional exchange fluctuation term. Here for the first time, an asymmetrical distribution of the exchange interactions is proposed based on empirical knowledge of the Bethe–Slater curve. A two-parameter exchange fluctuation is shown to give significantly better fits to M(T) for these amorphous alloys.
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.
