Abstract

We report the salient features of the magnetic properties of amorphous$ Fe_{84-x}Nb_7B_{8+x}Cu_1$ (x=0, 1, 4) alloys. The study of dc-magnetization properties and the ac-susceptibility was carried out. The temperature dependence of the magnetization follows the predictions of spin wave excitations with long wavelengths. Especially, the addition of boron modifies the magnetic properties: the spin wave stiffness increases from 56.8 to 65.7 meV$\AA$2 and Curie temperature increases from 298 K to 352 K. This result indicates a magnetic hardening of the exchange interaction by higher exchange energy. Thus, the substitution of iron by boron favours the increase of magnetic order in this system.
