Notes:
Using high silicon-iron single crystals containing around 6.5 wt. % silicon, the quenching temperature dependence of the saturation magnetization, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant, and the magnetostriction constants were measured at room temperature. The saturation magnetization and the anisotropy constant of the crystals with 4.9–6.0 wt. % silicon quenched into oil from 1100 °C showed decreases of up to 12 and 80%, respectively, compared to crystals cooled slowly from 1100 °C, while the saturation magnetostriction constants λ100 and λ111 increased for quenched crystals. The decreases in the saturation magnetizations and the anisotropy constants and the increases in the saturation magnetostriction constants for the quenched crystals were correlated with decreases in an order parameter calculated from x-ray measurements.
