It has been shown that the extension of the supercooled liquid region first increases and reaches a large value of 95 K and subsequently decreases as a function of Y content. Analysis of the structure factors and pair correlation functions in the reciprocal-space and real-space have indicated that the addition of Y noticeably changes the atomic structure and reduces the degree of the medium-range order. Magnetic measurements have implied that the introduction of Y enhances both saturation magnetization and Curie temperatures of the ribbons, while keeping their coercivity very small. The underlying mechanisms for changes in the atomic structure, improving the thermal stability and magnetic properties upon Y addition have been discussed.
