In this paper, a new method for fabricating Ni80Fe20/Cu composite wires is presented. A series of samples were prepared by alternating the rotating direction of the Cu wire during RF magnetron sputtering. In order to keep the overall coating thickness of all the samples constant, the alternating...

In this study, resonance enhancement of giant magneto-impedance (GMI) effect in Fe-based Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9 glass-coated microwires was investigated. A new method was adopted by sputtering a copper layer in the outside of the Fe-based glass-coated wire. A capacitance forms between the...

In this work, two types of electrodeposited Ni–Fe/insulator/Cu composite wires, namely Ni–Fe/seed layer/glass coated copper wire (Composite Wire A), and Ni–Fe/seed layer/sputtered SiO2/Cu (Composite Wire B), have been fabricated and their giant magneto-impedance effects have been...

The effect of annealing temperature on the magnetic and giant magnetostriction (GMS) of [Fe/Tb/Fe/Dy]n multilayer films were investigated. X-ray diffraction showed that the multilayer films' microstructures were still in amorphous at annealing temperature 300°C. The multilayer films began to...

The magnetic properties and giant magnetostriction effect (GMS) of the amorphous alternant [Tb/Fe/Dy]n (named S1) and [Fe/Tb/Fe/Dy]m (named S2) nano-multilayer films have been studied. The magnetic hysteresis loops show that easy magnetic direction changes from perpendicular to the film plane...
