BUTTA, M., et al. Electroplated FeNi ring cores for fluxgates with field induced radial anisotropy. Journal of Applied Physics. 2015, 117(17), ISSN 0021-8979. DOI 10.1063/1.4914874.
Being able to control the anisotropy of a magnetic core plays an important role in the development of a fluxgate sensor. Our aim is to induce anisotropy orthogonal to the direction of excitation because it generates a stable, low-noise fluxgate, as cited in the literature. In this paper, we present an original method for electroplating a ring core for a fluxgate with built-in radial anisotropy by performing the electroplating in a radial field produced by a novel yoke. The results show that the resulting anisotropy is homogeneously radial and makes the magnetization rotate, avoiding domain wall movement for low excitation fields.
