Complex Analysis of Electrical Resistivity Dynamics of Co₈₂Fe₄Cr₃Si₈B₃ Amorphous Alloy under Heat Treatment

Abstract

In this paper the detailed analysis of thermal behavior of electrical resistivity of Co82Fe4Cr3Si8B3 amorphous alloy is made. It has been shown that within temperature range 230С <T< 5600С the structure of the alloy keeps its amorphous character and only a slight changes occurred. A high temperature (above room temperature) resistivity minimum was found at 160°C. This feature was related with Curie temperature of the alloy. It has been shown that change of electrical resistivity behavior at 350°C can be explained by reaching the Debye temperature of the alloy.
