In this case, Metglas layers are structured in different geometries from the conventional single bar (c-SB) to conventional separated multiple bars (c-SMB), elongated separate multi-bar (e-SMB) and n-magnetic-bar based PCMB (n-PCMB). This n-PCMB geometry divides the conventional ME configuration into n parallel-connected ME units (n-PCMEU) according to the magnetic geometries. The optimal ME performance with the largest ME voltage coefficient aE of 630 V/cm.Oe is achieved in PCMEU with two Metglas bars (n = 2). The ME voltage coefficient can be further enhanced by integrating m of these optimal PCMEUs in series to form a serial-parallel ME unit array m-S (n-PMEU)A. The aE value increases by a factor of 3.6 and reaches 2.238 kV/cm.Oe for 4-S (2-PMEU)A, a factor that is almost equal to m. The resulting 4-S (2-PMEU)A sensor possesses an extremely high sensitivity of 18.1 mV/nT, with a resolution of 10?1 nT.} }
