Abstract

The giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) profile at 0.1 MHz shows one-peak behavior in vacuum-annealed samples at T = 380°C, irrespective of annealing time ta from 20 to 480 min. For the samples annealed in open air, the GMI profile shows two peaks for ta = 20 min annealed sample. However, one of the peaks disappears and the asymmetric GMI profile exhibits a drastic step-like change near zero field for ta ≥300 min. Such an asymmetric GMI characteristic is probably due to the magnetic coupling of amorphous phase with a relatively hard magnetic phase on surface microstructures of FCC-Co, HCP-Co and Co2Si crystalline phases.
