In this paper we present studies on the frequency dependence of the magneto-impedance in the range of 0.1–2 MHz for Fe73.5Si13.5B9Nb3Cu1 and Fe73.5Si16.5B6Nb3Cu1 nanocrystalline ribbons, which differ in the sign of the magnetostriction constant. As cast samples were annealed in Ar atmosphere at 560℃, with and without an DC and AC magnetic field. At a fixed frequency, an improvement in the field annealed 13.5% Si samples, when compared with the zero field annealed ones, can be observed. On the 16.5% Si field annealed samples only a reduction of magneto-impedance ratio could be observed, when compared to the non-field annealed ones. Analysis of the magnetic properties and X-ray data shows that the observed changes in magneto-impedance effect are consequence of the induced magnetic anisotropy.

Co-based amorphous microwires presenting the giant magnetoimpedance effect are proposed as sensing elements for high sensitivity biosensors. In this work we report an experimental method for contactless detection of stress, temperature, and liquid concentration with application in medical sensors using the giant magnetoimpedance effect on microwires in the GHz range. The method is based on the scattering of electromagnetic microwaves by FeCoSiB amorphous metallic microwires. A modulation of the scattering parameter is achieved by applying a magnetic bias field that tunes the magnetic permeability of the ferromagnetic microwires. We demonstrate that the OFF/ON switching of the bias activates or cancels the amorphous ferromagnetic microwires (AFMW) antenna behavior. We show the advantages of measuring the performing time dependent frequency sweeps. In this case, the AC-bias modulation of the scattering coefficient versus frequency may be clearly appreciated. Furthermore, this modulation is enhanced by using arrays of microwires with an increasing number of individual microwires according to the antenna radiation theory. Transmission spectra show significant changes in the range of 3 dB for a relatively weak magnetic field of 15 Oe. A demonstration of the possibilities of the method for biomedical applications is shown by means of wireless temperature detector from 0 to 100 °C.

Co90P10 amorphous microtubes with thickness ranging from 2 to 19 μm were electrodeposited onto Cu wire substrates. Samples exhibit radial magnetic anisotropy as deduced from hysteresis loops and magnetic force microscopy imaging. These microtubes show quite noticeable giant magnetoimpedance effect (GMI) with amplitude depending on layer thickness and frequency. The hysteresis in the GMI curves is small, which can be ascribed to the radial anisotropy. Such small hysteresis is of importance for technological applications.

Development of autobiased linear field sensors based on asymmetrical giant magnetoimpedance (AGMI) effect in Corich amorphous microwires upon the application of a biasing dc current is approached. Upon biasing dc currents, the highest field sensitivity of AGMI of 20%/Oe was found at a biasing dc current of 10 mA. The reduction of the AGMI under a biasing dc current of 25 mA and a frequency of 10 MHz has been observed. The result indicates that an optimum design of autobiased linear field sensors based on AGMI can be achieved by applying the biasing dc current of 10 mA and in the frequency range of 100 kHz–5 MHz. A stress-induced change in AGMI has also been found in these microwires and this offers a new approach to the development of stress sensors. All these features make the Co-rich amorphous microwire a multifunctional and smart material that can be used for different purposes of sensing applications.

Magnetic microwires can present excellent soft magnetic properties and a giant magnetoimpedance effect. In this paper, we present our last results on the effect of postprocessing allowing optimization of the magnetoimpedance effect in Co-rich microwires suitable for magnetic microsensor applications. Giant magnetoimpedance effect improvement was achieved either by annealing or stress-annealing. Annealed Co-rich presents rectangular hysteresis loops. However, an improvement in magnetoimpedance ratio is observed at fairly high annealing temperatures over a wide frequency range. Application of stress during annealing at moderate values of annealing temperatures and stress allows for a remarkable decrease in coercivity and increase in squareness ratio and further giant magnetoimpedance effect improvement. Stress-annealing, carried out at sufficiently high temperatures and/or stress allowed induction of transverse magnetic anisotropy, as well as magnetoimpedance effect improvement. Enhanced magnetoimpedance ratio values for annealed and stress-annealed samples and frequency dependence of the magnetoimpedance are discussed in terms of the radial distribution of the magnetic anisotropy. Accordingly, we demonstrated that the giant magnetoimpedance effect of Co-rich microwires can be tailored by controlling the magnetic anisotropy of Co-rich microwires, using appropriate thermal treatment.

Stress-annealing enabled a considerable improvement in the GMI effect in both Fe- and Co-rich glass-coated microwires. Additionally, a remarkable magnetic softening can be achieved in stress-annealed Fe-rich microwires. Observed stress-annealing induced magnetic anisotropy is affected by annealing conditions (temperatures and stresses applied during annealing). The highest GMI ratio up to 310% was obtained in stress-annealed Co-rich microwires, although they presented rectangular hysteresis loops. A remarkable magnetic softness and improved GMI ratio over a wide frequency range were obtained in stress-annealed Fe-rich microwires. Irregular magnetic field dependence observed for some stress-annealing conditions is attributed to the contribution of both the inner axially magnetized core and outer shell, with transverse magnetic anisotropy.
