Abstract
The dependences of the magnetoimpedance ratio /spl Delta/Z/Z of soft magnetic Co/sub 67/Fe/sub 3.85/Ni/sub 1.45/B/sub 11.5/Si/sub 14.5/Mo/sub 1.7/ glass-coated amorphous microwires with various geometric ratio /spl rho/ upon axial magnetic field H has been measured for the frequency f range 0.06-15 MHz, driving current amplitude I of 0.75-2 mA, and H up to 2400 A/m. Surface hysteresis loops have been measured by transverse magnetooptical Kerr effect (MOKE). A maximum relative change in the giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) ratio /spl Delta/Z/Z up to around 615% is observed at f=10 MHz and I=0.75 mA in the sample with /spl rho//spl ap/0.98. Application of dc bias current strongly affects the GMI ratio. A maximum of GMI ratio occurs approximately at the same field as the coercivity of surface loops.
