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.
磁性微丝具有优异的软磁性能和巨磁阻抗效应。在本文中,我们展示了关于后处理效果的最新研究成果,该处理可优化适用于磁微传感器应用的富钴微丝中的磁阻抗效应。通过退火或应力退火实现了巨磁阻抗效应的改善。退火后的富钴微丝呈现矩形磁滞回线。然而,在相当高的退火温度下的较宽频率范围内,磁阻抗比有所提高。在中等退火温度和应力值下进行退火时施加应力,可显著降低矫顽力,提高矩形比,并进一步改善巨磁阻抗效应。在足够高的温度和/或应力下进行应力退火,可诱导横向磁各向异性,同时改善磁阻抗效应。根据磁各向异性的径向分布,讨论了退火和应力退火样品的增强磁阻抗比值以及磁阻抗的频率依赖性。因此,我们证明了通过适当的热处理控制富钴微丝的磁各向异性,可以调整富钴微丝的巨磁阻抗效应。
