The giant magneto-impedance (GMI) effect associated with the variation of transverse permeability for the ribbons Fe89Zr6Hf1B4 with different annealing temperatures T-A = 793, 823, 893, 923, 993, and 1033 K was invest...The giant magneto-impedance (GMI) effect associated with the variation of transverse permeability for the ribbons Fe89Zr6Hf1B4 with different annealing temperatures T-A = 793, 823, 893, 923, 993, and 1033 K was investigated. There is an optimum annealing temperature TA = 993 K for obtaining the largest GMI effect for the ribbons Fe89Zr6Hf1B4. The magneto-impedance GMI (Z) = (Z(H) - Z(0))/Z(0) for the ribbon with T-A = 993 K can reach -55.09% at a frequency f = 900 kHz under H = 7162 A/m. The relative changes of the real part of transverse permeability Delta mu'/mu'(0) = (mu'(H)- mu'(0))/mu'(0) under H = 7162 A center dot m(-1) at f = 1 MHz are -78.83%, -89.98% and -94.77 % for Fe89Zr6Hf1B4 ribbons with T-A = 823, 893, and 993 K, respectively. The strong GMI effect is accompanied by the large change of transverse permeability. A large magnetoreaetance GMI(X) = (X (H) - X (0))/X (0) of -81.09% can be obtained at f = 100 kHz under H = 7162 A/m for the ribbon with T-A = 993 K. Meanwhile, this present result gave an experimental support to the previous concept / assumption that the positive peak in the field dependence of magneto-impedance is connected to the peak of transverse permeability with varying fields.展开更多

The transverse and longitudinal GMI effect in patterned FeSiB/Cu/FeSiB tri-layer films with the change of external magnetic field and frequency were studied at the same time. The change of the impedance of the films with the external magnetic fieldand frequency was shown. Comparing the longitudinal and transverse effect, the transverse effect has a larger linear range from zero magnetic field to a quite large magnetic field at all frequencies, and the change still were not saturated until the external magnetic field reached 1.2×104A/m, which illustrated that the films can be utilized to detect larger magnetic fields than now presented GMI sensors.展开更多

And then their GMI response was investigated at a frequency range from 0.1 to 13 MHz. It was found through the comparison of results that the GMI effect of these wires had been improved through stress-current anneal treatments, because the tensile stress applied on these Co-rich wires introduced magnetoelastic energy and increased anisotropy, which improved the circular permeability and GMI effect. Their impedance ratio AZ/Z increased from 244% to 480.9% at 7 MHz and the field sensitivity increased to 0.83%/（A/m） at 5 MHz, when a tensile stress of 244 MPa was applied at an anneal current of 100 mA for 10 min. It was therefore concluded that these annealed wires were suitable for high sensitive sensor applications.展开更多

The giant magneto-impedance effect in Co71.8Fe4.9Nb0.8Si7.5B15 amorphous glass-covered wires (AGCW) consists of strong changes in the high frequency impedance with a small DC magnetic field. When f=1 MHz, there is no GMI effect due to the fact that the magnetic penetration depth is higher than their radius. As the frequency increases, the GMI effect becomes important in both the glass-covered wire and the wire after glass removal. Field dependence of the impedance has a similar behaviour to the AGCW ones, when a tensile stress is applied to the wire without glass cover.展开更多

The FeCo-based amorphous ribbon is prepared by single roller quenching and annealed with Joule heat in a flowing nitro- gen atmosphere. The giant magnetoimpedance effect in solenoid （GMIES） profiles are measured with an HP4294A impedance analyzer. The result shows that the CMIES responds to the WMF sensitively （as high as 1580 %/A.m-1）. The high sensitivity can be obtained in a moderate narrow range of annealing current density （30-34 A/mm2） and closely depends on the driven current frequency. The highest sensitivity （1580 %/A.m-1） is obtained when the FeCo- based amorphous ribbon is annealed at 32 A/mm2 for 10 min and then driven with an alterning current （AC） at the frequency of 350 kHz. The highly sensitive GMIES under the WMF may result from the multiple magnetic-anisotropic structure, which is induced by the temperature gradient produced during Joule-heating the ribbon.展开更多

The maximum magneto-impedance ratio is 475% and magnetic sensitivity of about 120%/Oe (1 Oe=80 A/m) at 20MHz, which is helpful to improve the sensitivity of magnetic sensor. The performances of the sensor were carefully studied in open-loop and closed-loop with negative feedback. The full measurement range of the magnetic field detection is 1.7-4 Oe presently, and the sensitivity achieves 176 mV/Oe. The sensor with negative feedback shows excellent linearity and good stability. The designed magnetic sensor can be applied in geomagnetic field measurement.展开更多

A comparative study on GMI properties of a single wire and two wires arranged in par- allel mode was reported in this work. Two-peak （TP） of impedance characteristic is presented when the dc external field changed from 0 to 320 A,m-＇ in two-wire system, which is attributed to successive magnetization process in two wires induced by their magnetic interaction. And the evolution of single peak to TP phenomenon, when the distance between two wires is upto 8 ram, evidences a distance dependence of transformation from successive magnetization to simultaneous via a corresponding dis- tance dependence of magnetostatic interactions. It is pro- posed that the recombination of magnetic interaction and the shielding effect results in a distance dependency of GMI response. When the distance is 8 ram, the magneti- zation process is close to synchronous between two wires, which give rises to higher circular permeability and better GMI response. The impedance ratio AZ/Z increases from 74.5 % of single wire to 172.4 % at 10 MHz. However, when the distance is upto 12 mm, the magnetic interaction is weak and magnetization process is completely independent, and GMI response decreases, relatively. This indicates that the GMI response could be effectively improved in a two-wire connection with an optical distance, which is promising and useful for the application of high-performance GMI sensors.展开更多
