Zusammenfassung: | The ribbons with different thicknesses of Fe83Ga17 alloy were prepared by melt spun. The maximum magnetostriction of −2100ppm has been obtained in the ribbon with the thickness of 75μm. The microstructures of the ribbons were determined by x-ray diffraction. It was found that DO3 structure emerges in those ribbons melt spun at a higher cooling rate. This special DO3 structure is favorable to the enhancement of magnetostriction. It is considered that more short-range ordering of Ga atoms appeared when liquid alloy was solidified with a certain extreme cooling rate. Such short-range ordering of Ga atoms brings a local stress and results in the giant magnetostriction. The large demagnetizing magnetic energy in the normal direction of the ribbons causes the magnetic moments parallel to the ribbon plane. When an applied magnetic field is perpendicular to the ribbon plane, the magnetic moments turn 90° and generate giant magnetostriction. |
