Abstract :
A new simple two-axis magnetometer has been developed. based on the superposition of an amorphous ferromagnetic disc over a disc-shaped piezoelectric support. At low frequencies, this device exhibits a sensitivity of ~1.7 μV/μT when the external magnetic field is orthogonal to one of the pick-up coils
