Structural evolution and magnetoresistance properties of heat treated Cu[sub 80]Co[sub 15]Fe[sub 5] ribbons
- Naval Research Lab., Washington, DC (United States)
Heat treated Cu[sub 80]Co[sub 15]Fe[sub 5] melt-spun ribbons were analyzed for their structural and magnetoresistance (MR) properties. Magnetoresistance values were found to be a maximum for the sample annealed at 500 C. Structural characterization using X-ray diffraction and absorption measurements, together with transmission electron microscopy, show this sample to have two precipitate phases within a Cu-rich fcc matrix; a Co-rich fcc phase and a CoFe bcc phase. Heat treatments at higher temperatures brought about a decrease in MR. Dark field TEM images illustrate the clustering of the precipitate particles concurrent with the decrease in MR suggesting that a clustering mechanism may contribute to the MR effect in these materials.
