Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0005693A2] A security device such as an anti-pilferage label or authentication label comprises as security feature a (first) soft-magnetic thin film having a thickness ranging from 100 nm to 2000 nm. The thin film is composed of an amorphous CoxZryNbz alloy, where x, y and z are atomic percentages and fulfil following conditions: (a) x ranging between 80 and 95; (b) y and z ranging between 0 and 20; (c) y + z = 100 - x. Due to the high effective relative permeability mu r, and the direction of its easy axis, a label with a CoZrNb thin film is relatively independent of its geometry.
