Abstract
The creep-induced anisotropy Kc, the field-induced anisotropy Kf, and the saturation magnetization Ms have been measured from 77 to 300 K on a zero-magnetostriction cobalt-based amorphous alloy. The temperature dependence of both anisotropies can be expressed as K=kMn, with n=2.6±0.1. Since both anisotropies have the same temperature dependence, they presumably have the same structural origin, namely anelastic structural defects or shearable components, even though they are different in magnitude by a factor of 10.
