Schematic diagrams of the nanostructure and magnetic domain structure of a conventional amorphous soft magnetic ribbon (left) and the newly developed ribbon (right). The new material exhibits a controlled nanostructure and magnetic domain structure achieved using optimized thermal treatment. The central graph demonstrates that these structural controls reduce core loss by more than 50%.
