Abstract
The theoretical results concerning the calculation of the critical speed at which a Bloch wall becomes unstable under the action of a driving field and the eddy currents field are compared with the experimental ones obtained on a strip of Metglas 2605 SC characterized by a well defined structure of antiparallel domains. A good agreement is obtained by assuming a value of 0.97 x 10-3 J/m2 for the wall surface energy γ0. This method, which is based on direct experimental results, seems to be a simple and reliable way to obtain rather accurate values of γ0 in amorphous alloys.
