Magnetoimpedance sensitive to dc bias current in amorphous microwires

We have investigated the impedance dependence of magnetically soft microwire on the internal circumferential magnetic field HB created by the dc bias current IB and theoretically and experimentally demonstrated that in a conductor with helical magnetic anisotropy, the high frequency impedance depends on the dc bias current IB (or the corresponding bias field HB) and this dependence is hysteretic. We have experimentally observed a change of impedance more than 35% upon changing the bias current. The possible applications of the dc current-driven magnetoimpedance effect are discussed.
