This paper presents the analysis, design and experimental evaluation of miniaturized magnetoelastic tags using frame-suspended hexagonal resonators. Magnetoelastic tags—also known as acousto-magnetic or magnetomechanical tags—are used in wireless detection systems—for example, electronic article surveillance and location mapping systems—that electromagnetically query the resonant response of th...

In the present work, a nanostructured ZnO layer was synthesized onto a Metglas magnetoelastic ribbon to immobilize hemoglobin (Hb) on it and study the Hb's electrochemical behavior towards hydrogen peroxide. Hb oxidation by H₂O₂ was monitored simultaneously by two different techniques: Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Magnetoelastic Resonance (MR). The Metglas/ZnO/Hb system was simultaneously used a...

Linearized equations and boundary conditions of a magnetoelastic ferromagnetic body are obtained with the nonlinear law of magnetization. Magnetoelastic interactions in a multidomain ferromagnetic materials are considered for magneto soft materials, i.e. the case when the magnetic field intensity vector and magnetization vector are parallel. As a special case, the following two problems are con...

This paper reports on the use of nanoporous Pt-TiO2 thin films coated onto magnetoelastic sensors for the detection of ethylene, an important plant growth hormone. Five different metal oxide coatings, TiO2, TiO2+ZrO2, TiO2+TTCN(1,4,7Trithiacyclononane)+Ag, SiO2+Fe, and TiO2+Pt, each having demonstrated photocatalytic activity in response to ethylene, were investigated for their ability to chang...

The temperature and field dependence of alternating-current (ac) susceptibility in a Ni50Mn25Ga25 single crystal was measured using an ac susceptometer with a dc magnetic field oriented in the [100] and [110] directions, respectively. It is found that even at very low fields the premartensitic transition temperature decreases monotonically with the increase of the applied field, and it decrease...

Magnetoelastic resonators made from metal alloy foils are widely used for miniature wireless anti-theft tags and have also been explored for use in various sensing applications. Through annealing within three-dimensional (3D) molds, these foils can be formed into curved structures. Consequently, magnetoelastic materials present an opportunity for the development of a new class of wireless, actu...

Problems of wave propagation in perfect magnetoelastic conductors have been studied, among others, by Knopoff [1], Dunkin and Eringen [2], Yu and Tang [3], Paria [4]. Kalishki and Rogula [5] have discussed Rayleigh waves in a semi-infinite perfect electrical conductor for a single component magnetic field. The propagation of Rayleigh-type magnetoelastic waves in a semi-infinite perfect electric...

A wireless magnetoelastic sensor has been developed for the determination of 2-naphthol (2-NAP) in human urine. This method is based on the precipitation of 2-NAP with diazonium salts produced by the diazo-reaction of sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) with nitrite under a weak alkaline condition, resulting in a descending of the resonance frequency of a wireless magnetoelastic sensor. The frequence shift ...
