Abstract
Creep-induced magnetic anisotropy in metallic glass was investigated using a molecular-dynamics simulation. A model binary glass structure of 2048 particles interacting via Lennard–Jones potentials was creep deformed below its glass transition temperature. Creep deformation resulted in the bond-orientational anisotropy (BOA) within the first nearest-neighbor shell with a large sixth-order spherical harmonic component. The magnetic anisotropy estimated on the basis of the point-charge model shows that a small two-fold component of the BOA can induce a sizable magnetic anisotropy in amorphous rare-earth alloys.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
