Amorphous ribbons of composition Fe/sub 73.5/Cu/sub 1/Nb/sub 3/Si/sub 13.5/B/sub 9/ have been annealed above their crystallization temperature which produces a homogeneous, ultrafine grain structure of {alpha}-FeSi with typical grain diameters of 10-20 nm. The temperature dependence of saturation magnetization reveals two different magnetic phases which correspond to the {alpha}-FeSi grains and the grain boundary phase, respectively. The nanocrystalline material exhibits excellent soft magnetic properties which are discussed within the framework of the random anisotropy model.
