| Abstract: | The present invention relates to magnetoelastic resonators, sensors, and
tunable devices, as well as methods for making such components. The
resonators can be used as tags and/or sensors. In general, the resonators
include one or more micron-sized resonator portions affixed on a
substrate. For use as a tag, each tag includes a plurality of resonator
portions that allow for multiplexed coding, and methods for making tags
and arrays of such tags include use of electrodeposition processes. In
particular embodiments, these components include an electrodeposited
material that exhibits magnetostrictive properties. |
