Development of micro-conductors with magnetically soft glass coating for technological applications

The work is devoted to advanced research of glass-coated microconductors as a special class of amorphous metal alloys. These magnetic microwires are model systems for fundamental research of a number of physical phenomena that are difficult to access in other conventional magnetic materials. The increased magnetic softness combined with their small size made them very promising for many modern technological applications. The authors attempted to demonstrate the development of microconducts with a magnetically soft glass coating from three closed points of view: control of internal stresses by changing the ratio between the diameter of the metal core and the thickness of the glass; achievement of a nanocrystalline state using two-phase nanoscale crystallites embedded in an amorphous matrix; control of heat treatment conditions before any participation of crystalline phases, i.e. weakening of internal stresses, frozen after the manufacturing process.
