Abstract
Magnetostrictive Co77Fe23 films are fully suspended to produce free-standing, clamped-clamped, microbeam resonators. A negative or positive shift in the resonant frequency is observed for magnetic fields applied parallel or perpendicular to the length of the beam, respectively, confirming the magnetoelastic nature of the shift. Notably, the resonance shifts linearly with higher-bias fields oriented perpendicular to the beam's length. Domain imaging elucidates the distinction in the reversal processes along the easy and hard axes. Together, these results suggest that through modification of the magnetic anisotropy, the frequency shift and angular dependence can be tuned, producing highly magnetic-field-sensitive resonators.
