| The magnetization processes in amorphous and nanocrystalline FINEMET ribbons were studied by the numerical decomposition of the quasi-static hysteresis loop to the contributions of the domain wall movement, the domain rotations, and the domain wall annihilation and nucleation processes following the hyperbolic T(x) model of hysteresis. The hysteresis data measured during decrease of the excitation magnetic field were used for the separation of these processes. The significant differences in behavior of these two materials were found. In amorphous state the domain rotations component dominates whereas in nanocrystalline state the domain wall movement component prevails. These differences are reflected in the anisotropy field distributions as well. |
