Abstract
The magnetic and electrical transport properties of amorphous Fe-Zr based alloys with compositions near 10 at. % Zr with various elements substituted for Fe are of particular interest. In the case of Mn substitutions the Curie temperature and the average magnetic moment decrease monotonically with increasing Mn content and the temperature dependence of the magnetization is significantly modified. The electrical transport properties of amorphous Fe 90-xMnxZr10 (for x=0, 4, 8, and 12) over the temperature range of 4.2-300 K and the magnetoresistance for fields up to 4.0 T at 4.2 K are reported in the present work. A broad minimum in the resistivity is observed at around 255, 235, 200, and 180 K for the four compositions, respectively. In the case of the x=8 sample a second minimum occurs at around 50 K. The magnetoresistance of all samples shows a sharp increase for small fields and a linear field relationship for fields above about 0.1 T.
