Surface impedance tensor in amorphous wires with helical anisotropy: Magnetic hysteresis and asymmetry
This article concerns the investigation of the magnetic behavior of the surface impedance tensor {cflx {var_sigma}} in CoSiB amorphous wires having a residual torsion stress and a helical anisotropy. The full tensor {cflx {var_sigma}} involving three different components is found by measuring the S{sub 21} parameter at a required excitation with a Hewlett-Packard network/spectrum analyzer at MHz frequencies. In general, the impedance plots versus axial magnetic field H{sub ex} exhibit a hysteresis related to that for the case of static magnetization. The diagonal components of {cflx {var_sigma}} (longitudinal {var_sigma}{sub zz} and circular {var_sigma}{sub {var_phi}{var_phi}}) show a sharp peak in a narrow field interval where the domain walls form and contribute to the ac magnetization dynamics. This peak is not seen for the off-diagonal component {var_sigma}{sub z{var_phi}} ({var_sigma}{sub {var_phi}z}) since the existence of the domain structure suppresses it. Applying a dc bias current results in a gradual transition to a nonhysteretic asymmetrical behavior with an enhanced sensitivity. The portions of the experimental plots associated with the rotational dynamic process are in qualitative agreement with the theory based on a single-domain model. {copyright} 2001 American Institute of Physics.
