| The paper presents a characterization of the phase structure by X-ray diffraction and isothermal magnetic entropy changes for the amorphous Fe58Co10Zr10Mo5W2B15 alloy sample in the as-quenched state. An ingot sample was obtained by arc-melting. The ribbon sample was obtained by the melt-spinning technique. The magnetic measurements at various temperatures allowed for the study of the Curie temperature TC and magnetic entropy changes |ΔSM|. In order to determine the Curie temperature TC of amorphous phase, three independent methods were used. Determination of the Curie temperature TC for the amorphous alloys is not a trivial problem, as magnetization does not decreases rapidly around TC. Therefore it is essential issue to establish TC using few complementary methods. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a fully amorphous structure of the ribbon samples. |
