Abstract
GMI sensors theoretically offer multi-modal sensing, capable of measuring both applied stress and external magnetic fields simultaneously.
Our research explores how the impedance changes in GMI sensors are influenced not only by external magnetic fields but also by changes in the magnetic core's microstructure.
We investigate (Co94Fe6)75Si15B10 amorphous alloy and Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9 nanocrystalline alloy, focusing on flash annealing duration effects (15–300 seconds) under specific stress and current conditions optimized for permeability and coercivity control.
The results show that there is no single best way to process GMI cores for high sensitivity and low noise. Instead, annealing parameters must be tailored to match the sensor's operational range. We discovered that grain size significantly impacts the sensor's sensitivity and operational field range, with larger grains responding better to applied stress. This study highlights that customising annealing time allows for tailoring GMI sensor characteristics to suit specific applications.
