Magnetomechanical Properties of Fe-Si-B and Fe-Co-Si-B Metallic Glasses by Various Annealing Temperatures for Actuation Applications. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 23:299. [PMID: 36616897 PMCID: PMC9823445 DOI: 10.3390/s23010299] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Fe-based amorphous alloys have advantages of low iron loss and high effective permeability, which are widely used in sensors and actuators. Power efficiency is one of the most important indicators among power conversion applications. We compared the magnetomechancial power conversion factors of metallic glassy ribbons FeCoSiB (Vitrovac 7600) and FeSiB (Metglas 2605SA1). We investigated the crystallization process under different annealing temperatures and tested the magnetomechancial coupling factors (k) and quality factors (Q) by using resonant and anti-resonant methods. We found that the maximum coupling factor of the annealed Vitrovac ribbons was 23% and the figure of merits k2Q was 4-7; however, the maximum coupling factor of the annealed Metglas ribbons was 73% and the maximum value of k2Q was 16. We can observe that the Metglas 2605SA1 ribbons have higher values of the magnetomechanical power efficiency than those of the Vitrovac 7600 ribbons, which means they are better to be used in subsequent research regarding acoustically driven antennas.

Magnetoelastic Sensor Optimization for Improving Mass Monitoring. SENSORS 2022; 22:s22030827. [PMID: 35161572 PMCID: PMC8839310 DOI: 10.3390/s22030827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2021] [Revised: 01/19/2022] [Accepted: 01/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Magnetoelastic sensors, typically made of magnetostrictive and magnetically-soft materials, can be fabricated from commercially available materials into a variety of shapes and sizes for their intended applications. Since these sensors are wirelessly interrogated via magnetic fields, they are good candidates for use in both research and industry, where detection of environmental parameters in closed and controlled systems is necessary. Common applications for these sensors include the investigation of physical, chemical, and biological parameters based on changes in mass loading at the sensor surface which affect the sensor’s behavior at resonance. To improve the performance of these sensors, optimization of sensor geometry, size, and detection conditions are critical to increasing their mass sensitivity and detectible range. This work focuses on investigating how the geometry of the sensor influences its resonance spectrum, including the sensor’s shape, size, and aspect ratio. In addition to these factors, heterogeneity in resonance magnitude was mapped for the sensor surface and the effect of the magnetic bias field strength on the resonance spectrum was investigated. Analysis of the results indicates that the shape of the sensor has a strong influence on the emergent resonant modes. Reducing the size of the sensor decreased the sensor’s magnitude of resonance. The aspect ratio of the sensor, along with the bias field strength, was also observed to affect the magnitude of the signal; over or under biasing and aspect ratio extremes were observed to decrease the magnitude of resonance, indicating that these parameters can be optimized for a given shape and size of magnetoelastic sensor.

Abstract
A magnetoelastic (ME) biosensor for wireless detection of analytes in liquid is described. The ME biosensor was tested against human IgG in the range 0-20 μg∙mL-1. The sensing elements, anti-human IgG produced in goat, were immobilized on the surface of the sensor by using a recently introduced photochemical immobilization technique (PIT), whereas a new amplification protocol exploiting gold coated magnetic nanoparticles (core-shell nanoparticles) is demonstrated to significantly enhance the sensitivity. The gold nanoflowers grown on the magnetic core allowed us to tether anti-human IgG to the nanoparticles to exploit the sandwich detection scheme. The experimental results show that the 6 mm × 1 mm × 30 μm ME biosensor with an amplification protocol that uses magnetic nanoparticles has a limit of detection (LOD) lower than 1 nM, works well in water, and has a rapid response time of few minutes. Therefore, the ME biosensor is very promising for real-time wireless detection of pathogens in liquids and for real life diagnostic purpose.

Real Time Monitoring of Calcium Oxalate Precipitation Reaction by Using Corrosion Resistant Magnetoelastic Resonance Sensors. SENSORS 2020; 20:s20102802. [PMID: 32423121 PMCID: PMC7284584 DOI: 10.3390/s20102802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2020] [Revised: 05/08/2020] [Accepted: 05/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The magnetoelastic resonance is used to monitor the precipitation reaction of calcium oxalate () crystals in real-time, by measuring the shift of the resonance frequency caused by the mass increase on the resonator. With respect to previous work on the same matter, the novelty lies in the adoption of an amorphous ferromagnetic alloy, of composition , as resonator, that replaces the commercial Metglas® 2826 alloy (composition ). The enhanced corrosion resistance of this material allows it to be used in biological environments without any pre-treatment of its surface. Additionally, the measurement method, which has been specifically adapted to this application, allows quick registration of the whole resonance curve as a function of the excitation frequency, and thus enhances the resolution and decreases the detection noise. The frequency shift is calibrated by the static deposition of well-known masses of . The resonator dimensions have been selected to improve sensitivity. A 20 mm long, 2 mm wide and 25 m thick magnetoelastic resonator has been used to monitor the precipitation reaction of calcium oxalate in a 500 s time interval. The results of the detected precipitated mass when oxalic acid and calcium chloride are mixed in different concentrations (30 mM, 50 mM and 100 mM) are presented as a function of time. The results show that the sensor is capable of monitoring the precipitation reaction. The mass sensitivity obtained, and the corrosion resistance of the material, suggest that this material can perform excellently in monitoring this type of reaction.

An Hourglass-Shaped Wireless and Passive Magnetoelastic Sensor with an Improved Frequency Sensitivity for Remote Strain Measurements. SENSORS 2020; 20:s20020359. [PMID: 31936418 PMCID: PMC7013433 DOI: 10.3390/s20020359] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2019] [Revised: 12/26/2019] [Accepted: 01/07/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
The conventional magnetoelastic resonant sensor suffers from a low detecting sensitivity problem. In this study, an hourglass-shaped magnetoelastic resonant sensor was proposed, analyzed, fabricated, and tested. The hourglass-shaped magnetoelastic resonant sensor was composed of an hourglass and a narrow ribbon in the middle. The hourglass and the narrow ribbon increased the detection sensitivity by reducing the connecting stress. The resonant frequency of the sensor was investigated by the finite element method. The proposed sensor was fabricated and experiments were carried out. The tested resonance frequency agreed well with the simulated one. The maximum trust sensitivity of the proposed sensor was 37,100 Hz/strain. The power supply and signal transmission of the proposed sensor were fulfilled via magnetic field in a wireless and passive way due to the magnetostrictive effect. Parametric studies were carried out to investigate the influence of the hourglass shape on the resonant frequency and the output voltage. The hourglass-shaped magnetoelastic resonant sensor shows advantages of high sensitivity, a simple structure, easy fabrication, passiveness, remoteness, and low cost.
