Relation between surface magnetization reversal and magnetoimpedance in Do-rich amorphous microwires

摘要

We report the investigations on the giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) effect and the surface magnetic structure performed in the series of glass covered Co-rich amorphous microwires with different thicknesses of glass covering. The calculation of the surface hysteresis loops has been performed in the frames of the model which takes into account the helical magnetic anisotropy. The correlation between the value-of the GMI ratio, the jump of the circular magnetization, and the value of the angle of helical anisotropy has been established. It was found that the angle of the surface helical anisotropy, for which the highest value of GMI, is close to 60 deg .
