title = "Magnetic and Structural Investigation of Heat Treated Ion Beam Sputtered Amorphous C074Fe6B1Ssis Films",
abstract = "As-deposited and annealed specimens of ion beam sputtered amorphous C074Fe6B15Sis thin films were examined to explore the correlation between changes in magnetic properties and atomic structure. Specimens were characterized magnetically, by traditional ac and dc techniques and structurally, via conversion-electron extended x-ray absorption fine structure analysis. Results show significant ordering of the higher order atomic shells around the transition metal ions well below the crystallization temperature. This ordering evolves into a body- centered-cubic configuration around both the Co and Fe ions. Increases in nearest neighbor peak positions in the EXAFS Fourier transforms were observed to correlate with increasing annealing temperatures. Evidence is presented for the role of the ordering in the observed magnetic changes, but the details remain unclear.",
