As a possible means for increasing the electrical to acoustical conversion efficiency as well as enhancing the spatial resolution, we have investigated the performance characteristics of transducers for electromagnetic generation of acoustics (EMATs) that incorporate permeable magnetic structures (permeable EMAT). Since the intent of this investigation is to develop high spatial resolution EMATs for noncontact scanning applications, what we term EMAT microscopy, the basic design guidelines differ somewhat from those employed in the design of more conventional EMATs, as used in pulse‐echo applications, for example. A computer program has been developed, to calculate the magnetic fields, induced currents, and generated forces, of arbitrary candidate designs, taking into strict account the stray fields due to the induced currents in the structure itself, and the anisotropic polarization of the permeable structure. The results of our calculation on even very simple structures show that an enhancement of the electrical to acoustic conversion efficiency and spatial resolution can be achieved, although at the expense of operating bandwidth.
