Magnetic Properties and Magnetoimpedance of Electroplated Wires

Magnetic properties and giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) of CuBe/Fe20Co6Ni74 electroplated wires was studied for frequency of 1 MHz and the amplitude of the driving current of 20 mA with focus on the development of magnetic field detectors of particular types. The possibility of quantitative ferrofluid concentration measurements was demonstrated. GMI of electroplated wire can be useful for the study of the dynamic properties of the ferrofluid. GMI of the electroplated wires in the non-uniform field created by the permanent magnet was studied in the configuration adapted for automatic control lines, machinery control, and positioning systems.
