Magnetic Properties of Iron-Based Amorphous Metal Wires

It has been studied how the conditions of machining and the elastic tensile stresses affect the magnetic properties of amorphous metal wires of composition Fe₇₅Si₁₀B₁₅ produced by drawing from a melt. The magnetic characteristics of wires subjected to both thermal treatment and treatment with a continuous electric current of different magnitude have been investigated. The residual induction of wires is their magnetic parameter most sensitive to the conditions of treatment. The dependences of the residual induction on temperature and on the magnitude of the treating electric current are qualitatively similar. The greatest changes in residual induction are observed in the range of treating electric currents from 0.5 to 0.8 A, which can be associated with the processes of structural relaxation and crystallization occurring in the wires. The run of the dependence of the residual induction on the magnitude of tensile stresses is nonmonotonic in character and is determined by the level of internal hardening stresses of the test wires.     

Addition to the Solution of the Problem on the Motion of a Free Nonrelativistic Electron in a Magnetic Field

In addition to the solution of the quantum mechanical problem on the motion of a free electron in a magnetic field, given by L. D. Landau in his pioneering work, this quantum mechanical problem is solved in view of the fact that the sum of the components of the free kinetic energy of an electron along two axes is a periodic quantity varying identically within the boundaries of every Landau energy level. This periodicity is a consequence of the quantized motion of an electron in a plane normal to the direction of the external magnetic field.
