Effect of the metal-to-wire ratio on the high-frequency magnetoimpedance of glass-coated CoFeBSi amorphous microwires

High frequency [1-500 MHz] measurements of the magnetoimpedance (MI) of glass-coated Co$_{69.4}$Fe$_{3.7}$B$_{15.9}$Si$_{11}$ microwires are carried out with various metal-to-wire diameter ratios. A twin-peak, anhysteretic behaviour is observed as a function of magnetic field. A maximum in the normalized impedance, $ΔZ$/$Z$, appears at different values of the frequency $f$, 125, 140 and 85 MHz with the corresponding diameter ratio $p$ = 0.80, 0.55 and 0.32. We describe the measurement technique and interpret our results with a thermodynamic model that leads to a clearer view of the effects of $p$ on the maximum value of MI and the anisotropy field. The behavior of the real and imaginary components of impedance is also investigated; they display a resonance that becomes a function of the DC field $H_{DC}$ for values larger or equal to $H_{K}$ the circumferential anisotropy field for each $p $ value. These results are interpreted in terms of a rotation model of the outer shell magnetization.

Helical anisotropy and magnetoimpedance of CoFeSiB wires under torsional stress

Recent measurements of the magnetoimpedance (at a fixed frequency of 1 MHz) of cobalt-rich wires subjected to torsion stress show an asymmetry as a function of torsion angle stemming from residual anisotropies induced during wire fabrication. We interpret these measurements with a simple model based on the competition between a circumferential magnetic anisotropy and another one induced by torsional and residual stress. This allows extraction of the physical parameters of the wire and explains the positive and negative torsion cases. The agreement between theoretical and experimental results provides a firm support for the model describing the behaviour of the anisotropy field versus static magnetic field for all torsion angles.

Metal-to-glass ratio and the Magneto-Impedance of glass-covered CoFeBSi microwires at high frequencies

High frequency [1-500 MHz] measurements of the Magneto-Impedance (MI) of glass-covered Co$_{69.4}$Fe$_{3.7}$B$_{15.9}$Si$_{11}$ microwires are carried out with various metal-to-wire diameter ratios. A twin-peak, anhysteretic behaviour is observed as a function of magnetic field. A maximum in $ΔZ/Z$ appears at different values of the frequency $f$, 125, 140 and 85 MHz with the corresponding diameter ratio $p$ = 0.80, 0.55 and 0.32. We describe the measurement technique and interpret our results with a thermodynamic model that leads to a clearer view of the effects of $p$ on the maximum value of MI and the anisotropy field.

Giant magnetoimpedance in Vitrovac amorphous ribbons over [0.3-400 MHz] frequency range

Giant magneto impedance (GMI) effect for as-cast Vitrovac$^{\textrm{\scriptsize\textregistered}}$ amorphous ribbons (Vacuumschmelze, Germany) in two configurations (parallel and normal to the ribbon axis) is studied over the frequency range [0.3-400 MHz] and under static magnetic fields -160 Oe $< H_{dc} < $+160 Oe. A variety of peak features and GMI ratio values, falling within a small field range, are observed and discussed.
