Abstract
In order to clarify the effect of the exchange stiffness in the intergranular phase on the exchange correlation length and the random magnetocrystalline anisotropy of two-phase nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials, the hyperfine fields coercivity and remanence to saturation ratio of nanocrystalline have been studied in the temperature range from 77 to 473 K. We observe that the coercivity of the nanocrystalline in the temperature range near the Curie temperature of the intergranular amorphous phase varies as approximately the power of the mean hyperfine field of the intergranular phase. This indicates that near is mostly governed by the exchange stiffness of the intergranular amorphous phase and of the Fe-Zr-B sample should vary as the power of the exchange stiffness constant in the intergranular region. These results are explained well by our extended two-phase random anisotropy model in which two local exchange stiffness constants are considered for the spin-spin correlation within
