New soft magnetic (Co-0.65,Fe-0.35)(72)Ta8B20 metallic glass has been synthesized and its atomic structure and thermal stability have been studied using high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. Analysis of the pair correlation functions (PDF) indicates a notable shift in position of the first PDF peak to a lower distance and the decreasing the average coordination number of the first shell, compared to the (Co-0.65,Fe-0.35)(62)Ta8E30 glassy alloy, recently produced. DSC analysis shows that the new alloy has a wide supercooled liquid region of 51 K and relatively high activation energy of crystallization of about 445 kJ/mol, calculated according to the Kissinger and Ozawa methods, which demonstrates its high thermal stability. Magnetic measurements show that the new alloy exhibits outstanding soft magnetic properties, i.e., very low coercivity of 1.2 A/m, high saturation magnetization of 93.5 Am-2/kg and Curie temperature of 660 K, which are significantly larger than those of (Co-0.65,Fe-0.35)(62)Ta8B30 glassy ribbon. The influence of the annealing treatment on evolution of the soft magnetic properties of the (Co-0.65,Fe-0.35)(72)Ta8B20 glassy ribbons has been investigated.
