Abstract

We have studied Hitperm-type and Finemet-type glass-coated microwires with a nanocrystalline structure. In Hitperm-type microwires where the nanocrystalline structure has been obtained directly after melt quenching using the Taylor–Ulitovsky fabrication technique, we observed rectangular hysteresis loops and studied the domain wall propagation. We measured and analyzed the switching field dependence on the frequency in as-prepared and annealed Hitperm-type microwires. A conventional annealing results in a drastic change of the frequency dependence of the switching field. This effect might be interpreted considering the stress relaxation process. We have also studied the correlation of magnetic properties, structure, and giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) effect in Finemet-type FeCuNbSiB microwires prepared by the Taylor–Ulitovsky technique. We observed that both GMI effect and magnetic softness of Finemet-type glass-coated microwires can be tailored by heat treatment, and after annealing a considerable magnetic softening of studied samples has been achieved. This magnetic softening correlates well with the devitrification of amorphous samples. Amorphous Fe-rich microwires exhibit a low GMI effect (GMI ratio below 1%). A considerable enhancement of the GMI effect (GMI ratio up to 100%) has been observed in heat-treated microwires developing a nanocrystalline structure.
