DC bias immune nanocrystalline magnetic cores made of Fe^sub 73^Nb^sub 3^Cu^sub 1^B^sub 7^Si^sub 16^ ribbon with induced transverse magnetic anisotropy

The comparative analysis of magnetic properties of cut cores made of nanocrystalline Fe^sub 73^Nb^sub 3^Cu^sub 1^B^sub 7^Si^sub 16^ alloy ribbon and cores made of the same ribbon with preliminary tension-induced transverse magnetic anisotropy was carried out. The possibility of improving magnetic properties of cut cores, decreasing loss, and increasing DC bias immunity of reversible magnetic permeability is presented. The influence of induced magnetic anisotropy on DC bias immunity of reversible magnetic permeability was investigated. The advantages and disadvantages of new cores (made of ribbon heated under tensile stress) over cut ones were determined.
