    Abstract

    We investigated the magneto-elastic properties of 500 mn thick sputtered NiFe-31% thin films. The hysteresis curves were measured as function of an externally applied isotropic in-plane stress. Coercivity and hysteresis loss decrease linearly as a function of tensile stress. Reduced pinning of the domain walls is believed to be responsible for the stress dependence.
