Ultrathin Co-based amorphous ribbons with a thickness of 6--10 ..mu..m were fabricated by a single roller quenching method in vacuum. The compositions of the alloys were zero magnetostrictive: Fe/sub 4.7/Co/sub 70.3/Si/sub 15/B/sub 10/ and (Fe/sub 0.05/Co/sub 0.95/)/sub 71/(Si/sub 0.5/B/sub 0.5/)/sub 29/. The ribbons obtained had good smoothness and dimensional uniformity. The core loss of toroidal samples 15 mm in diameter was measured after annealing. The loss decreased with decreasing ribbon thickness. In the case of 6.4-..mu..m-thick (Fe,Co)/sub 71/(Si,B)/sub 29/ amorphous ribbon, the values at 100 kHz and 1 MHz were 40 mW/cm/sup 3/ and 1.8 W/cm/sup 3/ for B/sub m/ = 0.1 T, respectively. The former was 1/4 that of Mn-Zn ferrites or 1/2 that of 5-..mu..m-thick Supermalloy tape wound core loss. The latter was (2)/(3) that of 5-..mu..m Supermalloy tape wound core loss. In addition, the initial permeability beyond 100 kHz was also markedly improved by thickness reduction. The values of 6.4-..mu..m-thick (Fe,Co)/sub 71/(Si,B)/sub 29/ ribbon measured at 1 and 10 MHz were about 7000 and 1000 for H/sub m/ = 2 mOe, respectively.
