Abstract

We present results on our studies of soft magnetic properties and Giant magnetoimpedance, GMI, effect in thin microwires at elevated frequencies paying special attention to tailoring the GMI effect and achievement of high GMI effect with low hysteretic behavior. We measured magnetic field, H, dependence of real part, of the longitudinal wire impedance up to frequency, f, 4 GHz in Co-rich microwires. Amorphous microwires of appropriate composition exhibit extremely soft magnetic properties with low coercivity (generally below 10 A/m) with well defined magnetic anisotropy field, H k . We report a number of interesting for sensor applications phenomena such as stress-impedance effect and stress sensibility of overall hysteresis loop shape. Field dependence of the off-diagonal voltage response of pulsed GMI effect in nearly-zero magnetostriction (λ s≈−3×10−7) microwires exhibits anti-symmetrical shape, suitable for industrial applications. We observed that the magnetic field dependence of GMI ratio can be tailored either controlling magnetoelastic anisotropy of as-prepared microwires or by heat treatment. Composite character of such microwires results in the appearance of additional magnetoelastic anisotropy. We found that if the surface anisotropy is not circumferential, then the magnetization, and consequently, the MI curve Z(H) present hysteresis. This hysteresis can be suppressed by application of sufficiently high DC bias current I B that creates a circumferential bias field H B.
