Giant magnetoimpedance in Vitrovac amorphous ribbons over [0.3-400 MHz] frequency range
Giant magneto impedance (GMI) effect for as-cast
Vitrovac amorphous ribbons
(Vacuumschmelze, Germany) in two configurations (parallel and normal to the
ribbon axis) is studied over the frequency range [0.3-400 MHz] and under static
magnetic fields -160 Oe +160 Oe. A variety of peak features and
GMI ratio values, falling within a small field range, are observed and
discussed.Comment: Paper submitted to International Conference on Magnetism 2003 (ICM

Metal-to-glass ratio and the Magneto-Impedance of glass-covered CoFeBSi microwires at high frequencies
High frequency [1-500 MHz] measurements of the Magneto-Impedance (MI) of
glass-covered CoFeBSi microwires are carried
out with various metal-to-wire diameter ratios. A twin-peak, anhysteretic
behaviour is observed as a function of magnetic field. A maximum in appears at different values of the frequency , 125, 140 and 85 MHz with
the corresponding diameter ratio = 0.80, 0.55 and 0.32. We describe the
measurement technique and interpret our results with a thermodynamic model that
leads to a clearer view of the effects of on the maximum value of MI and
the anisotropy field.Comment: 5 pages and 6 figure
Oscillatory dynamics of a superconductor vortex lattice in high amplitude ac magnetic fields
In this work we study by ac susceptibility measurements the evolution of the
solid vortex lattice mobility under oscillating forces. Previous work had
already shown that in YBCO single crystals, below the melting transition, a
temporarily symmetric magnetic ac field (e.g. sinusoidal, square, triangular)
can heal the vortex lattice (VL) and increase its mobility, but a temporarily
asymmetric one (e.g. sawtooth) of the same amplitude can tear the lattice into
a more pinned disordered state. In this work we present evidence that the
mobility of the VL is reduced for large vortex displacements, in agreement with
predictions of recent simulations. We show that with large symmetric
oscillating fields both an initially ordered or an initially disordered VL
configuration evolve towards a less mobile lattice, supporting the scenario of
plastic flow.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures. To appear in Phys. Rev.
A Novel Broadband Measurement Method for the Magnetoimpedance of Ribbons and Thin Films
A novel broad-band measurement method of the MI in thin films and ribbons is
presented. It is based on the automated measurement of the reflection
coefficient of a cell loaded with the sample. Illustrative results obtained
with a permalloy multilayer thin film are presented and discussed.Comment: Paper submitted to International Conference on Magnetism (Rome 2003
