Abstract

Suitability of specific materials for use in magnetomechanical sensors more often depends on combinations of properties than on an outstanding value of a single property. These combinations include ratios and products of properties from different physical families. While magnetic, magnetoelastic, electrical and strength properties often play key roles in determining the performance of the sensor, non-physical characteristics such as manufacturability, available forms, environmental compatibility, toxicity and costs strongly influence the device design and may well dominate the final choice of material. The development of materials specifically for use in this class of sensors is encouraged by their already broad and growing range of applicability.
