A variety of metal oxides were coated by sol-gel process from their metal alkoxides on the ribbons of Co-based and Fe-based amorphous alloys, and the effects of surface oxide coating on the magnetic properties of the alloy are investigated. The core loss is found to be reduced significantly by the oxide coating, the loss reduction becoming more prominent at higher frequencies. The shape of the hystersis loop is also dependent upon the kind of the coated metal oxide. The coatings of MgO, SiO2, MgO·SiO2 and MgO·Al2O3 induce tensile stress into the Fe-based ribbon whereas those of BaO, Al2O3, CaO·Al2O3, SrO·Al2O3 and BaO·Al2O3 induce compressive stress. These results may be explained by the modification of domain structures via magnetoelastic interactions with the shrinkage stress induced by the sol-gel coating.

The Co-based ribbons with different length were annealed in different magnetic field and GMI profiles were investigated in order to clarify the influence of ribbon size on GMI effect. The GMI ratio decreased with the decreasing in length and also decreased with increasing annealing field. While, the slope of GMI profiles inclined and the field range showing linearity was broadened. It shows prospect to low field sensor, especially for a navigation sensor.

Theoretical considerations on a giant magneto-impedance (GMI) effect in amorphous ribbons (i.e., thin films) have been made in terms of the expressions of effective permeability and impedance derived in the frame of classical electrodynamics and ferromagnetism. The dependence of GMI effect on the external do magnetic field (H$\_$ext/) and the frequency of alternating current are simulated and discussed in the knowledge of energy conversion consisting of the current energy loss, the ferromagnetic energy consumption, and the magnetic energy storage in the film. The obtained results are summarized as follow: (a) As frequency f< 20 ㎒, the real part of effective permeability (${\mu}$′) changes slightly. The peak of the ${\mu}$′curve always locates at H$\_$ext/=H$\_$ani/ - the anisotropy field. However, the peak value of ${\mu}$′ tends to increase with increasing frequency in the frequency range of 11-20 ㎒. (b) In the frequency range, f= 21-23 ㎒, a negative peak additionally appears. Meanwhile, both the positive and negative peak values rapidly increase with increasing frequency and their peak positions shift towards a high H$\_$ext/. (c) The positive peak value of ${\mu}$′ starts to decrease at f= 29 ㎒ and its negative peak does so at about 35 ㎒. Then, both peaks keep such a tendency and their peak positions move to high H$\_$ext/, as increasing frequency. (d) The dependence of the imaginary part of effective permeability (${\mu}$") on the external dc magnetic field and the frequency of the alternating field indicates that there is only one peak involved in ${\mu}$" for the whole frequency range. (e) The impedance vs. magnetic field curves at various frequencies show that there is a critical value of frequency around f= 18-19 ㎒ where the transition between two frequency regimes occurs; the one (low frequency) in which ${\mu}$′ predominantly contributes to the GMI effect and the other (high frequency) in which ${\mu}$" determines the GMI effect.

The heat treatment condition and aging behavior of melt spun amorphous $Fe_{78}B_{13}Si_9$(Metglas 26058-2) were studied with investigating its magnetic properties, i.e., Br, $B_l$, Hc. The optimum heat treatment condition was $400^{\circ}C$, 1 hour under the external field of 200e, and aging was due to the surface oxidation and the appearance of local CSRO (chemical short lange order) with time and temperature. In addition. we investigated the effects of the thickness of the amorphous ribbons on the magnetic properties and aging effect of them.

Microstructure modifications are investigated for annealed Co-based amorphous ribbon in vacuum and open air. X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra for annealed sample in vacuum indicate atomic arrangements with initial nucleation of hcp-Co crystallite at 38$0^{\circ}C$ annealing temperature. However, the XRD spectra in samples with long annealing times of $t_a\geq300$ min demonstrate sharp and good developed surface crystalline hcp-, fcc- Co and $Co_2$Si phases. The giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) profile at 0.1 MHz displaying one-peak behavior in vacuum annealed samples at T = 38$0^{\circ}C$ irrespective of annealing time $t_a$ from 20 to 480 mim. For the annealed samples in an open air, the GMI profile shows two-peaks for $t_a$ = 20 min annealed sample. However, one of peaks disappears and an asymmetric GMI profile exhibits a drastic step-like change near zero field for $t_a\geq300$min. Such asymmetric GMI characteristics is related to the surface microstructures of fcc-Co, hop-Co and $Co_2$Si crystalline phases.

This dissertation describes the development of a sensor for measuring microscopic displacement where we use CoFeSiB amorphous alloy magnetic ribbon having near zero magnetostrictive properties. For the development of the sensor, we first fabricate amorphous alloy magnetic ribbon, and then investigate its physical and magnetic properties. Finally, its possibility of practical application as a displacement sensor is discussed. The experimental samples were made of near zero magnetostrictive (Co$\_$0.94/Fe$\_$0.06/)$\_$9/Si$_2$B$\_$19/ alloy which were fabricated by a rapid liquid quenching method. As a results, we got amorphous alloy magnetic ribbons of 12㎛ in thickness, 10 mm in length, and 2.5 m in width. It was found that the crystallization temperature and the Curie temperature are around 451$\^{C}$ and around 441$\^{C}$ respectively. We couldn't observe any noticeable change of the impedance frequency of 10MHz, but observed the impedance change of 3.76 %/Oe at 100 MHz. The inductance was nearly stable over the frequency range of 1∼10 MHz, In addition, it was observed that the variation of the inductance and the impedance were linear within the displacement ranges of 20∼60㎛. As the results of the experiments, it is suggested that the displacement sensor which is fabricated by using amorphous alloy magnetic ribbon of (Co$\_$0.04/Fe$\_$0.06/)$\_$79/Si$_2$B$\_$19/ compound, can be used as a sensor to detect microscopic displacement.

The magnetostriction versus field (${\lambda}-H$) curves for the melt-spun ribbons of $Dy_{x}{(Fe_{1-y}B_{y})}_{1-x}$ (x=0.2, 0.25, 0.3; y=0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2) alloys are measured systematically at various wheel speeds ranging from 10 to 50 m/sec. The ${\lambda}-H$ curves in most cases vary sensitively with the wheel speed and, in the wheel speed range where no amorphous phase is formed, the magnetic softness improves rather continuously with the wheel speed. This result is considered to be due to the reduced grain size with increasing wheel speed, which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. In particular, homogeneous and ultrafine grains with size of about 10 nm are formed even in the as-spun state when the $Dy_{0.3}{(Fe_{1-y}B_{y})}_{0.7}$ alloys are quenched at the wheel speed of 30 m/sec (for the alloy with y=0.2) or 40 m/sec (for the alloys with $y{\leq}0.15$) and the ribbons having the nanocrystalline grain structure exhibit good magnetostrictive characteristics.

The effect of quenching speed of melt-spinning on intrinsic coercivity ($_iH_c$$) of annealed ribbons and the crystallization behavior from amorphous $Nd_{14.73}Fe_{78.67}B_{6.60}$ alloy have been studied. We have found that the intrinsic coecivity for annealed melt-spun ribbon is reduced with increasing of quenching rate. $\alpha$-Fe and $Fe_3B$ were formed as intermediate phases prior to the formation of $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ phase during crystallization. The $Fe_3B$ is disappeared with crystallization of $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ phase. But the $\alpha$-Fe phase is retained in fully crystallized ribbon by annealing. The intrinsic coercivity loss of annealed ribbon with increasing of quenching speed is believed to be due to existence of soft magnetic phase $\alpha$-Fe in annealed ribbons.

By employing a rapid solidification method and atmospheric annealing at $450^{\circ}C-1hr$, we were able to manufacture inexpensively granular CuCo alloy ribbons with thickness of $20{\mu}m$ showing giant magnetoresistance (GMR) ratio of more than 5% at a high magnetic field of 0.5T. To verify maximum MR effect, the MR ratio, saturation magnetization, and microstructure change were investigated with Co contents between 5 and 30 at%. It was possible to obtain GMR ratios of 5.2% at 1.2T, and 3% at 0.5T, which implies an appropriate MR for industrial purpose at a Co content of $8{\sim}l4%$. MR ratio was reduced rapidly at a Co content below 5% due to superparamagnetic effect and at a Co content above 20% due to agglomeration of Co clusters. Surface oxidation during rapid solidification and atmospheric annealing did not have much affect on MR ratio. Our result implies that our economic CuCo granular alloy ribbons may be appropriate for high magnetic field sensor applications with wide content range of $8{\sim}14$ at%Co.
