Amorphous Co{sub 75}Er{sub 17}B{sub 8} ribbons were prepared by the melt spinning technique, and their magnetic properties were studied. Mean field theory was used to describe the temperature dependence of magnetization. High-field magnetization studies performed in magnetic fields up to 15 T have revealed a magnetic behavior typical of a non-collinear magnetic structure of Er and Co sublattices. The simulated magnetization curves show the existence of two critical fields at H{sub cri1} = 9.5 T and H{sub cri2} = 94.2 T, corresponding to collinear ferrimagnet, and collinear field-forced ferromagnetic behaviors. The high value of H{sub cri2} highlights the strong antiferromagnetic interaction between Er and Co sublattices. From the non-collinear regime, the inter-subnetwork molecular field coefficients of the ferrimagnetic alloy were accurately evaluated. In addition, it is shown that the region of canted moments can be satisfactorily described by a phase diagram in the H-T plane.
