Barkhausen noise in soft amorphous magnetic materials under applied   stress
  We report experimental measurements of Barkhausen noise on Fe_{64}Co_{21}B_{15} amorphous alloy under tensile stress. We interpret the scaling behavior of the noise distributions in terms of the depinning transition of the domain walls. We show that stress induced anisotropy enhance the effect of short-range elastic interactions that dominate over long-range dipolar interactions. The universality class is thus different from the one usually observed in Barkhausen noise measurements and is characterized by the exponents \tau = 1.3 and \alpha = 1.5, for the decay of the distributions of jump sizes and durations.
