Tunable Nanocomposite Alloys for Magnetic Field Sensing

Nanocomposite materials comprised of metallic crystals embedded within an amorphous matrix have been demonstrated to have soft metallic properties (i.e., easily magnetized or demagnetized), which are applicable to a wide range of applications including sensors and inductive devices. There is a growing need to develop improved soft magnetic materials for advanced electronic and power system applications that operate under high temperatures, frequencies, and power levels.
