Thin magnetic wires can present excellent soft magnetic properties (with coercivities up to 4 A/m), Giant Magneto-impedance effect, GMI, or rectangular hysteresis loops combined with quite fast domain wall, DW, propagation. In this paper we overview the magnetic properties of thin magnetic wires and post-processing allowing optimization of their magnetic properties for magnetic sensor applications. We concluded that the GMI effect, magnetic softness or DW dynamics of microwires can be tailored by controlling the magnetoelastic anisotropy of as-prepared microwires or controlling their internal stresses and domain structure by appropriate thermal treatment.

Amorphous Microwires

Amorphous magnetic microwires can be suitable for a variety of technological applications due to their excellent magnetic softness and giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) effect. Several approaches for optimization of soft magnetic properties and GMI effect of magnetic microwires covered with an insulating, flexible, and biocompatible glass coating with tunable magnetic properties are overviewed. The high GMI effect and soft magnetic properties, achieved even in as-prepared Co-rich microwires with a vanishing magnetostriction coefficient, can be further improved by appropriate heat treatment (including stress-annealing and Joule heating). Although as-prepared Fe-rich amorphous microwires exhibit low GMI ratio and rectangular hysteresis loops, stress-annealing, Joule heating, and combined stress-annealed followed by conventional furnace annealing can substantially improve the GMI effect (by more than an order of magnitude).

We present our studies of the factors affecting soft magnetic properties and giant magnetoimpedance effect in thin amorphous and nanocrystalline microwires. We showed that the magnetoelastic anisotropy is one of the most important parameters that determine magnetic softness and GMI effect of glass-coated microwires  and annealing can be very effective for manipulation the magnetic properties of amorphous ferromagnetic glass-coated microwires. Considerable magnetic softening and increasing of the GMI effect is observed in Fe-rich nanocrystalline FINEMET-type glass-coated microwires after the nanocrystallization.

We report on tailoring magnetic properties and giant magneto-impedance GMI in glasscoated microwires fabricated by the Taylor-Ulitovsky method, by means of selection of their alloy composition and/or annealing conditions. Fe-rich microwires subjected to stress annealing show the hysteresis loops of inclined form due to induced transverse magnetic anisotropy, and hence become suitable for GMI. The transverse anisotropy depends on the annealing conditions: temperature, duration and stress. The application of external stress further drastically changes the shape of the hysteresis loops and the GMI spectra. The wires with compositions Co-Fe-Ni-Si-B and Co-Fe-Cr- Si-B are demonstrated to have a low Curie temperature (below 90oC) and pronounced temperaturedependent magnetic properties and GMI effect. Both families of developed microwires are foreseen for applications in high performance stress and temperature sensors as well as in tuneable sensory composite materials. Such composites contain short pieces of microwires embedded into a dielectric matrix and contribute to the effective ac permittivity. The latter depends on the wire magnetic properties through the GMI effect and can be tailored to produce a microwave response sensitive to environment: magnetic field, stress and temperature.

We studied the effect ofthe magnetoelastic ansitropy on properties of nanostructured glass-coated microwires with soft magnetic behaviour (Finemet-type microwires of Fe70.8Cu1Nb3.1Si14.5B10.6, Fe71.8Cu1Nb3.1Si15B9.1 and Fe73.8Cu1Nb3.1Si13B9.1 compositions) and with granular structure (Cu based Co-Cu microwires). The magnetoelastic energy originated from the difference in thermal expansion coefficients of the glass and metallic alloy during the microwires fabrication, affected the hysteresis loops, coercivity and heat capacity of Finemet-type microwires. Hysteresis loops of all as-prepared microwires showed rectangular shape, typical for Fe-rich microwires. As expected, coercivity, HC, of as-prepared microwires increases with decreasing of the ratio ρ defined as the ratio between the metallic nucleus diameter, d to total microwire diameter, D. On the other hand we observed change of heat capacity in microwires with different ratio ρ. In the case of Co-Cu microwires ρ- ratio affected the structure and the giant magneto-resistance of obtained microwires.

The influence of post-processing conditions on the magnetic properties of amorphous and nanocrystalline microwires has been thoroughly analyzed, paying attention to the influence of magnetoelastic, induced and magnetocrystalline anisotropies on the hysteresis loops of Fe-, Ni-, and Co-rich microwires. We showed that magnetic properties of glass-coated microwires can be tuned by the selection of appropriate chemical composition and geometry in as-prepared state or further considerably modified by appropriate post-processing, which consists of either annealing or glass-coated removal. Furthermore, stress-annealing or Joule heating can further effectively modify the magnetic properties of amorphous magnetic microwires owing to induced magnetic anisotropy. Devitrification of microwires can be useful for either magnetic softening or magnetic hardening of the microwires. Depending on the chemical composition of the metallic nucleus and on structural features (grain size, precipitating phases), nanocrystalline microwires can exhibit either soft magnetic properties or semi-hard magnetic properties. We demonstrated that the microwires with coercivities from 1 A/m to 40 kA/m can be prepared.

In order to obtain materials with more ideal GMI effect, (DZ/Z）max, the substitution effects of R (R = Co, Ni and Cr) for Fe in Fe63.5R10Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9soft magnetic wires have been studied. We found that although the Finemet composition shown excellent GMI effect, the substitution of Co can raise notably the field sensitivity, Q, Ni makes a little improvements of (DZ/Z）max, and Q, and Cr diminishes the undesirable hysteretic effect. In additions, the influence of annealing conditions upon the GMI effect of the best composition Fe63.5Cr10Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9was also investigated. It indicated that the sample obtained by the ways of Joule heating under the application of suitable tensile stress exhibits 200% and 30%¤Oe for (DZ/Z）max and Q, respectively. This sample can serve as a proper choice for magnetic sensors.

In this paper we experimentally studied GMI effect and soft magnetic behavior of Co-rich microwires. Correlation between magnetoelastic anisotropy and magnetic field dependences of diagonal and off-diagonal impedance components are observed. Low field GMI hysteresis, explained in terms of magnetoelastic anisotropy of microwires, has been suppressed by the bias current.

Soft Ferrite

A soft magnetic MnZn-type ferrite is considered for high frequency applications. First, the morphological, structural, and chemical composition of the material are presented and discussed. Subsequently, by using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), the hysteresis loops are recorded. The open magnetic circuit measurements are corrected by employing demagnetization factors, and by taking into consideration the local magnetic susceptibility. Finally, the hysteresis losses are estimated by the Steinmetz approach, and the results are compared with available commercial information provided by selected MnZn ferrite manufacturers. Such materials are representative in planar inductor and transformer cores due to their typically low losses at high frequency, i.e., up to several MHz, in low-to-medium power applications and providing high efficiency of up to 97%–99%.
