Investigation on Co-Cr micro-strips for VBLM

Abstract

Hard magnetic strips can be used for bit stabilization in a VBLM. For this stabilization the magnetic strayfield of the strips induce potential wells for the bits. However, by dimensioning a material into strips the magnetic properties and therefore the potential wells change. In this paper the relation between magnetic properties and shape of Co-Cr micro-strips is investigated. Furthermore the influence of both magnetic properties and shape of the strips on the magnetic strayfield is simulated.
