Abstract:
The anisotropy of magnetization of microwires consisting of an $\alpha$-Fe core and a (PrDy)(FeCo)B shell is studied at 300 K. The components of $\alpha$-Fe core magnetization directed along the microwire axis and the noncollinear component of the microwire shell with different magnetization saturation fields of $\sim$ 100 Ξε and $>$ 10 kOe, respectively, are separated. The difference between the directions of magnetization of the shell and the core is 170$^\circ$.
Keywords:ferromagnetic microwires, magnetic anisotropy, demagnetizing factor.
