Bismuth (Bi), as a fantastic p-block semimetal with highly anisotropic Fermi surface, small effective electron mass, low carrier density, and long carrier mean-free path [20-23], is conventionally deemed as a sound candidate to observe and investigate quantum confinement and finitesize effects, enhanced magnetoresistance, and thermoelectricity [21, 22, 24, 25].
The wireless sensor node is integrated with three axes anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) sensor [15] which is installed at Cartesian coordinates ([x.sub.o], [y.sub.o], z) relative to the origin ([x.sub.o], [y.sub.o], [z.sub.o]) at the ground as depicted in Figure 3.
