Abstract

We have studied the magnetoimpedance (MI) response of near-zero magnetostriction (Co_0.95Fe_0.05)₇₅Si₁₀B₁₅ (Co-based) amorphous ribbons (0.50 mm wide, 32 μm thick), thermally treated by current annealing, for different dc current of intensity varying from 440-680 mA during 5 min, was investigated in the frequency range of 10 MHz-1 GHz. It was not observed MI effect in the as-quenched ribbon, while the current annealed ribbons display large MI depending on the current annealing intensity in a similar way to that of the inhomogeneous induced magnetic anisotropy developed by this peculiar thermal treatment.
