Research Abstract |
In this study, for a soft magnetostrictive thin film (FeSiB), uniaxial anisotropy control method using a difference of thermal expansion coefficients of layered structure composed of other nonmagnetic film (Mo) was studied for realizing high sensitive strain sensor. When the film is subjected to annealing to release a residual stress, the differences of the thermal expansion coefficient of the magnetic film and nonmagnetic film produce an inner stress to each other. The inner stress can induce anisotropy of the magnetic film to arbitrary direction due to the inverse magnetostriction effect. It is found that the uniaxial anisotropy is induced to width direction of the rectangular Mo layer. In addition, it was observed that as the major axis of the rectangular Mo under layer was lengthened, the in-plane uniaxial anisotropy of the FeSiB film was gradually strengthened. Furthermore, the anisotropy of FeSiB induced radially of a ring shape sample using this method was observed.
