Abstract:
Giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) effect was investigated in the frequency range of 100kHz~40MHz in multilayered FeSiB/Cu/FeSiB with different thickness of FeSiB films. With magnetic field
Ha applied along the longitudinal direction of the sample, the GMI ratio increases with
Ha, reaching a posttive maximum value at a certain field and then decreases to the negative GMI ratio with further increase of
Ha. At a frequency of 3.2MHz, the positive maximum GMI ratio is 13.5% for
Ha = 2.4kA/m, and a larger negative GMI ratio,-9.2% is obtained for
Ha = 9.6kA/m in multilayered FeSiB/Cu/FeSiB films which FeSiB film is 1.8μm thick. While, for multilayered FeSiB/Cu/FeSiB films which FeSiB film is 1.0μm thick, the maximum GMI ratio of 5.8% is obtain at 1.6kA/m for a frequency of 40MHz. In addition, the multilayered films displayed large negative GMI ratio with magnetic field applied along the transverse direction of the samples, and a negative GMI ratio, -12% is obtained at 5.2MHz for
Ha= 9.6kA/m in multilayered FeSiB/Cu/FeSiB films with FeSiB film thickness of 1.8μm. The large negative GMI ratio and the positive maximum CMI ratio are correlated to the easy axis orientation and the thickness of FeSiB film in the multilayered FeSiB/Cu/FeSiB films.
