Ferromagnetic Microwire Composites
From Sensors to Microwave Applications
Book
Chapter
Soft ferromagnetic microwires have attracted strong research interest in the past two decades in the physics and materials community, in that they can be conveniently fabricated into microsized continuous wire...
Chapter
In this chapter, the influences of the measurement parameters (e.g. alternating current, dc magnetic field, frequency, and temperature) on giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) have been systematically analysed and cla...
Chapter
With microwires fully discussed in the previous chapters, we now divert our attention to innovative microwire-based materials, i.e. advanced microwire multifunctional composites, which have attracted much atte...
Chapter
This chapter describes the fabrication methods of amorphous wires and microwires. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are examined and discussed. The existing techniques of glass removal for amorph...
Chapter
Due to the inclusion of magnetic fillers, the polymer composite becomes magnetic, i.e. responsive to the external static or dynamic magnetic field. Although most studies are devoted to the dynamic response of ...
Chapter
The domain structure of a rapidly quenched material is often determined by coupling between magnetostriction and internal stresses frozen in during the fabrication process. Such knowledge of the domain structu...
Chapter
To search for a GMI material for GMI sensor applications, two main requirements should be satisfied, namely a high GMI ratio (or a large GMI effect) and a high sensitivity to the applied field (or a high magne...
Chapter
In this chapter, the fundamental aspects of giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) and related phenomena are discussed. Prior to defining the GMI, the concepts of eddy current and the skin effect associated with GMI are...
Chapter
The high-frequency absorption behaviour of amorphous ferromagnetic materials, among others, is of considerable interest for microwave absorber applications (Vazquez and Adenot-Engelvin in J Magn Magn Mater 321...
Chapter
The influences of the processing parameters, e.g. glass coating, sample geometry, heat treatment, stresses, neutron irradiation, hydrogen charging, magnetostriction, and after-effect, on giant magnetoimpedance...
Chapter
Since GMI changes as a function of external dc magnetic field or applied dc/ac current, it is possible to design and produce GMI-based sensors that can measure either magnetic fields or dc/ac currents. GMI als...
Chapter
With a knowledge of the static properties of magnetic wires and their composites, we now usher this chapter into the dynamic properties of microwave composites at the gigahertz frequency range of application i...
Chapter
Metamaterials are one of the most appealing forefront subjects in materials and physics nowadays in view of the prospect that their successful application may renovate a number of industrial domains such as ae...
