Theoretical Study of Microwires with an Inhomogeneous Magnetic Structure Using Magnetoimpedance Tomography.

Area of Science:

• Physics
• Materials Science
• Electrical Engineering

Background:

• Magnetoimpedance tomography (MIT) is a novel technique for characterizing magnetic properties.
• Understanding the magnetoimpedance (MI) effect in inhomogeneous materials is crucial for MIT development.

Purpose of the Study:

• To theoretically investigate the magnetoimpedance effect in amorphous microwires with inhomogeneous magnetic structures.
• To model the distribution of electromagnetic fields and impedance within such microwires.

Main Methods:
