Analysis of asymmetric property with DC bias current on thin-film magnetoimpedance element

摘要

We theoretically analyzed the magnetoimpedance profile of a thin-film element with a DC bias current using the bias susceptibility theory and Maxwell’s equations. Although the analysis model predicts that an element with a rectangular cross section shows symmetric impedance property with respect to the Z -axis with DC bias current, the experimental results showed asymmetric properties. Taking the shape imbalance and trapezoidal cross section of the element into account, we explained the asymmetric impedance properties qualitatively.
