Exchange coupling and dipolar interactions in FINEMET/Fe50Pd50 composites ribbons

2021 
Abstract Asymmetrical giant magnetoimpedance (AGMI) effect was investigated in FINEMET/Fe50Pd50 composite ribbons. Composite ribbon samples of 33 μm-thickness FINEMET sputtered with a layer of Fe50Pd50 film were produced, and the microstructure and magnetic properties were investigated. The results showed that the MI response was enhanced by Fe50Pd50 coating layer. The Fe50Pd50 coating layer generates a bias field to FINEMET ribbon, which leads to the asymmetry of GMI curves. The bias field decreases with the increasing of the thickness (t) of Fe50Pd50 coating layer. The asymmetry of GMI curves almost disappears at t = 70 nm. Asymmetry could be tuned by changing the thickness of Fe50Pd50 coating layer, which is analyzed in terms of exchange coupling and dipole–dipole interaction between FINEMET ribbon and Fe50Pd50 layer. The high sensitivity of GMI was used to separate the two interactions for the first time. The results opened the possibilities for application of FINEMET/Fe50Pd50 composite ribbons in linear magnetic field sensors.
