Abstract—We showed that stress-annealing performed under proper conditions can improve magnetic softness, domain wall (DW) velocity and giant magneto-impedance (GMI) effect of Fe-based microwires. One order of magnitude improvement of GMI ratio and more than 100% increase of DW velocity have been achieved by stress-annealing. Observed dependencies have been related to the domain structure modification evidenced from the evolution of the hysteresis loops upon stress-annealing. We discussed observed results considering that the outer domain shell with transverse magnetic anisotropy affects the travelling DW in a similar way as the application of transverse bias magnetic field. GMI ratio improvement is attributed to beneficial magnetic anisotropy distribution achieved by stress-annealing.
