Propagation characteristics of magnetoelastic waves in amorphous wires

The authors previously reported that when magnetoelastic waves propagate in as quenched amorphous wires, the main wave (MW) propagating directly from the source is accompanied by an anomalous wave (AW) with an irregular waveform, and that this AW seems to occur as the result of scattering of the MW in the amorphous wire. In this paper they report the results of experimental studies on the mechanism of AW generation, as well as information on the internal structure of the amorphous wire obtained from the waveforms of the AW
