The magnetic force push carriers toward the upper edge of the strips. Electricity behaves somewhat like an incompressible fluid. It reacts bydeveloping an electric field, the Hall field that counterbalances exactly the magnetic pressure exactly.

Magnetoresistance Magnetoresistance AnisotropicAnisotropic
The anisotropy is obtained during the fabrication of the material. It is applied a magnetic that caused a preferred path for the magnetic field.During the step of sputtering on a thin film like Permalloy (FeNi 20% 80%, a magnetic field is applied and this introduce a easy path. This magnetic field introduce a easy axe and a magnetization of the thinFilm.

In order to simplify, we suppose that H is applied in the direction of Hy.
• The resistance decrease with the magnetic field.• The magnetic sensor is not linear.• It is also impossible to determine the sign of the magnetic field.

FluxGate: PrincipleFluxGate: PrincipleThe first winding is used to saturate the magneticMaterial. When the magnetic material is saturate,there is no voltage across the second winding.
Measurement of delay introduce on the voltage across the second winding will be help to determine the value of the magnetic filed. When there is no magnetic field, the gap between the pulse is constant. When a magnetic field is applied, the gap between the two pulses are different.

FluxGate: RealizationFluxGate: RealizationConfiguration of the windings
The fluxgate is very sensitive. The realization is complex but magnetic sensors with low sensitivity have good perspective.

Magneto Impedance: MIMagneto Impedance: MIPrinciple: Use the skin effect
A current in a wire cause that the current density is concentrate at the periphery of the wire. So the impedance of the wire increase with the frequency. A external magnetic field cause also a dependence of the impedance with the magnetic field.The purpose is to polarize the wire at a frequency and the external magnetic field cause a variation of the impedance.

Magnetic ActuatorMagnetic Actuator
Magnetic materialPermalloy FeNi electroplated.MagnetThe magnet is placed under the micro inductance. It is glued or electroplated.
Micro InductanceConductor (Al, Cu) deposed on a substrateglass or Si. The size, the number of turnsgive a inductance value. The thickness of the conductor must be important. The conductorneed to be deposed by electroplating in a molding.Current density increase with the reduction of the size of the conductor (1000 A.mm-2
for a wire with a µm dimension).
A micro Inductance is used to generate a magnetic field. This magnetic field act on a magnetic layer in order to develop a force.

A mirror move when a current is applied on the micro inductance. It reflect the lighttransmit with the optics fiber. Under the membrane, the permalloy is electroplated.
Under the coil, a magnet is placed. A pulse in the coil shift the mirror. When the signalis interrupted, the mirror stay in position. When another pulse is applied on the coil, themirror move.
