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.

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.

We provide an overview of the tools directed to reversible and irreversible transformations of the magnetic structure of glass-covered microwires. The irreversible tools are the selection of the chemical composition, geometric ratio, and the stress-annealing. For reversible tuning we use the combination of magnetic fields and mechanical stresses. The studies were focused on the giant magnetoimpedance effect and the velocity of the domain walls propagation important for the technological applications. The essential increase of the giant magnetoimpedance effect and the control of the domain wall velocity were achieved as a result of the use of two types of control tools. The performed simulations reflect the real transformation of the helical domain structures experimentally found.
