Abstract

Recently an asymmetric giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) profile has been observed in Co-based amorphous ribbons annealed at the weak field [1-4]. This phenomenon has attracted a large interest due to its practical application to sensitive magnetic sensors. It is known [5.6] that in magnetic materials, the magnetoimpedance is caused by the effect of the magnetic field on the transverse magnetic permeability of a near-surface layer. In consequence of it, the value of the magnetoimpedance depends strongly on near-surface magnetic properties of the sample. (omitted)
