Controlled annealing enhances magnetic and electrical properties in nanocrystallized microwires, indicating advanced sensor applications.
Fe-based amorphous microwires were studied to examine the effect of partial surface nanocrystallization on their magnetic and electrical properties. Controlled annealing was used to induce nanocrystallization within the surface layer of the metallic core. The giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) was found to increase up to 150% compared to the as-cast microwires, which correlates with variations in the electromagnetic skin depth. Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) revealed a pronounced transformation of the magnetic domain structure: inclined and zigzag domains evolved into a ring domain configuration with radially oriented magnetization. This transformation of the domain structure occurred within the same magnetic field range where the maximum impedance response was observed. These results show a strong coupling between surface nanostructuring, domain configuration, and magnetoimpedance behavior, providing insights for optimizing Fe-based microwires for use in high-sensitivity magnetic and mechanical sensors.
