D. Garcia et al., Influence of field annealing on the hysteretic behaviour of the giant magneto-impedance effect of Cu wires covered with Ni80Fe20 outer shells, J MAGN MAGN, 203, 1999, pp. 208-210
The giant magneto-impedance (GMI) effect of Cu wires covered with a Ni-Fe/N
i-Co layered structure has been investigated in as-prepared and heat-treate
d states. A hysteretic behaviour of the GMI effect as a function of the app
lied field was observed. This hysteresis is related to the anisotropy held
of the wires and can be reduced by field annealing. (C) 1999 Elsevier Scien
