Notes:
Amorphous Fe80−xMxB14Si6 alloys with M=Mo, V, Mn, and 2≤x≤14 have been made by the rapid quenching method. The critical exponents β, γ, δ, and Tc were determined by two independent methods: the method of Kouvel-Fisher and the scaling plot. With the addition of M, β, and γ deviate more from the values predicted by the three-dimensional Heisenberg model, and are closer to the values proposed by Sobotta and Wagner. δ remains less changed. The magnetic inhomogeneity of these alloys is evidenced by the specific heat, the forced magnetoresistance, and the Mössbauer measurements. By increasing x, the peak of specific heat becomes smeared and less divergent, and forced magnetoresistance changes from negative to positive around Tc.
