Investigation of scaling properties of hysteresis in Finemet thin films

We study the behavior of hysteresis loops in Finemet Fe$_{73.5}$Cu$_1$Nb$_3$Si$_{18.5}$B$_4$ thin films by using a fluxometric setup based on a couple of well compensated pickup coils. The presence of scaling laws of the hysteresis area is investigated as a function of the amplitude and frequency of the applied field, considering sample thickness from about 20 nm to 5 $\mu$m. We do not observe any scaling predicted by theoretical models, while dynamic loops show a logarithmic dependence on the frequency.
