TL;DR: In this article, the magneto-optical Kerr effect was used to investigate the domain width of Fe 14 Nd 2 B single crystal plates with different thicknesses and of grains of FeNdB-sintermagnets.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of an external tensile stress on domain structure of metallic glasses with positive, negative and vanishing magnetostriction constant λ s has been investigated, and it was shown that the stress-dependent contribution to λ S is responsible for the unexpected changes of domain pattern in near-zero magnetostrictive metallic glasses.

TL;DR: Two-phase sintered magnets composed of the hard magnetic Fe14Nd2B and a Nd-rich nonmagnetic phase are produced doping the master alloy of Fe73.5Nd20B6.5 with 1.48 mass% Al2O3 as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the stress dependence of saturation magnetostriction of amorphous Co73Fe5Si9B13 alloy was investigated, and the orientation of the domains relative to the ribbon direction was found to depend on the sign of λs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the stress dependence of saturation magnetostriction λs is investigated and the magnetostriktion changes its sign from an initially positive to a negative value which can be directly observed with help of the magnetooptical Kerr effect by a rotation of the domains from a parallel to a perpendicular direction with respect to the band direction.
