Abstract
For Co-Fe-Si-B amorphous ribbons the influence of weak-field annealing on transformation of magnetic field and spectral transverse Kerr effect (TKE) dependencies has been studied. The TKE spectra and magnetization curves were found to exhibit anisotropic behavior. The results indicate that the magnetic structure is inhomogeneous relative to thickness and confirm an increase of anisotropy in the near surface layer. It is suggested that the anisotropy is brought about by the shape effect of magnetic microcrystallites in the surface layer, the shape and size of which both change during annealing.
