Abstract
Ni80Fe20/Cu composite wires were produced under torsion using electrodeposition method. The total length of the magnetic film deposited onto 50 µm Cu wire is 3 cm and the thickness of the magnetic layer is about 10 µm. All samples showed single peak in magnetoimpedance (MI) curves. The magnitude (ΔZ/Z) % are 260%, 235% and 119% for samples produced under 22.4, 44.8, 89.7 rad/m torsion values, respectively at driving frequency of 160 kHz. MI effect magnitude decreases with increasing applied torsion during the electrodeposition process. A linear change in the second harmonics of output voltage from wire ends as a function of applied magnetic field (coil-less fluxgate effect) was observed in all sample. The sensitivity of coil-less output increases with increasing torsion and maximum sensitivity was observed in the sample produced at 89.7 rad/m torsion.
