Abstract

We have studied the magnetic and magnetotransport properties of melt-spun Fe₉₁Zr₈Cu₁ and Fe₈₁Zr₈Cu₁Ru₁₀. The Fe₉₁Zr₈Cu₁ alloy after nanocrystallization at 753 K for 14.4 ks shows conventional anisotropic magnetoresistance (MR). On the other hand, spin-dependent MR (Δρ≈-0.04 μΩ cm) is confirmed for the Fe₈₁Zr₈Cu₁Ru₁₀ alloy after the same nanocrystallization treatment. Our ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer results indicate that the residual amorphous phase in the Ru-free alloy is ferromagnetic, whereas that in the Ru-doped alloy is paramagnetic. The spin-dependent MR in Fe₈₁Zr₈Cu₁Ru₁₀ is considered to be due to the inhibition of the intergranular magnetic coupling by this paramagnetic amorphous phase. Our study shows that the magnetotransport in BCC-Fe/amorphous two-phase nanocrystalline systems can be spin-dependent.
