Handling magnetic anisotropy and magnetoimpedance effect in flexible multilayers under external stress

“…Regarding to MI in flexible multilayers, in the recent past, distinct groups have reported very interesting results [15][16][17][18][19][20], opening the possibilities for the use of flexible substrates in the development of MI based sensors devices for field detection. In particular, our group has shown that non-magnetostrictive NiFe/(Ag,Ta) multilayers with similar magnetic properties and dynamic magnetic response can be obtained in distinct substrates [15]. For magnetostrictive multilayers, we have performed similar study in Co/(Ag,Cu,Ta) structure [16], and the mirroring of the magnetic features considering rigid and flexible substrates has been also verified [16].…”

“…For magnetostrictive multilayers, we have performed similar study in Co/(Ag,Cu,Ta) structure [16], and the mirroring of the magnetic features considering rigid and flexible substrates has been also verified [16]. This corresponds to a fundamental issue, since the optimized response obtained for films in ordinary rigid substrates can be reproducible in flexible ones [15,16]. However, considering both aforementioned reports, it is important to emphasize that, up to now, we have investigated the magnetic properties just in multilayers without external stress.…”

Unambiguous magnetoelastic effect on residual anisotropy in thin films deposited on flexible substrates

“…However, the functional properties of the thin films must be well controlled in this type of substrate that has specificities (flexibility, roughness, anisotropy behavior related to the extrusion process [4]). Regarding magnetic films, several applications such as flexible tunnel junctions [5], magnetoimpedance [6,7] or magnetoresistance sensors are under development [8,9]. However, it is crucial to understand in depth the magnetic behavior of such specific systems.…”
