Permanent magnet modelling for dynamic applications

Rare earth permanent magnets are very sensitive to temperature as an overheating can lead to a partial or a total demagnetization. It is then necessary to determine the losses in the permanent magnets to design with accuracy an electromagnetic system. In fact, if the permanent magnet experiences a high frequency magnetic field, significant losses appear. In the literature, these losses are calculated assuming the permanent magnet to be a bulk conductive material. In this work, we aim at verifying this assumption and we give a method to determine the equivalent conductivity. Then, we present a comparison between calculated and measured characteristics of two permanent magnet samples.

Magnetic Drag and Energy Losses in Noncontact Bearings Based on Superconducting Tapes

In the paper, the problem of magnetic drag and origination of energy losses in noncontact bearings based on high-temperature superconducting tapes is considered. The model configurations of bearings in which a superconducting tape is a stator and a set of permanent magnets is a rotor are investigated. It is shown that the magnetic friction can be neglected in the case where more than eight permanent magnets compose the rotor. This result indicates the possibility to create scaled magnetic bearings for the systems of long-term energy storage, for example, flywheel energy storage systems.     

Effect of periodic changes in the shape of a superconducting body on its dynamics in a noncontact magnetic suspension

The effect of periodic variations of the shape of a homogeneous superconductor on its dynamics in an axisymmetric magnetic field produced by permanent magnets is studied in the case in which the gravity and inertia forces are directed along the axis of the suspension. The shape of the body varies in accordance with a harmonic law from an oblong to an oblate ellipsoid. The dependences of the forces and moments acting on the body on its position in the suspension and shape are obtained. It is shown that the periodic variation of the shape is responsible for excitation of vibrations and may lead to instability of the body. Calculations are performed in the quasi-stationary approximation.

Rare earth permanent magnets prepared by hot deformation process

Hot deformation is one of the primary methods for fabricating anisotropic rare earth permanent magnets. Firstly,rapidly quenched powder flakes with a nanocrystal structure are condensed into fully dense isotropic precursors using the hot-pressing process. The prepared isotropic precursors are then hot-deformed to produce high-anisotropy uniaxial bulk rare earth permanent magnets and a highly textured structure is produced via this process. The resulting magnets possess many advantages such as near-net-shape, outstanding corrosion resistance, and ultrafine-grain structure. The influence of the preparation parameters utilized in the hot-pressing and deformation processes on the magnetic properties and microstructure of the permanent magnets are systemically summarized in this report. As a near-net-shape technique, the hot deformation process has notable advantages with regard to the production of irregular shapes, especially for radially oriented ringshaped magnets with high length-diameter ratios or thin walls. The difficulties associated with the fabrication of crack-free,homogeneous, and non-decentered ring-shaped magnets are substantially resolved through an emphasis on mold design,adjustment of deformation parameters, and application of theoretical simulation. Considering the characteristics of hotdeformed magnets which include grain shape and size, anisotropic distribution of intergranular phases, etc., investigation and improvement of the mechanical and electric properties, in addition to thermal stability, with the objective of improving the application of hot-deformed magnets or ring-shaped magnets, is of practical significance.

Diamagnetic levitation of a milligram-scale silica using permanent magnets for the use in a macroscopic quantum measurement

Verification of macroscopic quantum mechanics requires that the position measurement accuracy of mirrors of various mass scales reach the Standard Quantum Limit (SQL) derived from Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. At mg-scale, thermal noise of the suspension wire of the mirror is an issue to reach the SQL. We propose to use a magnetic levitation system consisting of permanent magnets and yokes, noting the fact that a silica mirror is diamagnetic, and have succeeded in the experimental verification to levitate a 0.1-1 mg silica mass. This is the first demonstration of the levitation system with this mass scale and this magnetic susceptibility scale using permanent magnets as far as we know. We also estimated major noise sources for a 0.1 mg silica mirror and found the noise level to be lower than the SQL at 400 Hz-18 kHz. In conclusion, the levitation system of a mg-scale mirror for the use in a macroscopic quantum measurement was realized.

MEMS electrodynamic loudspeakers for mobile phones

This paper presents a MEMS structure of electrodynamic loudspeakers dedicated to mobile phone applications. The major goals are to obtain a high electroacoustic conversion efficiency and a high fidelity acoustic quality. The originalities lie in a rigid silicon membrane and in its suspension by a set of silicon beams. The moving coil is a planar copper microcoil electroplated on the silicon membrane whose microstructure was optimized for providing both rigidity and lightness of the mobile part.This paper presents different magnetic structures of the motor for this MEMS loudspeaker. These structures are ironless, only made out of permanent magnets which are bonded on the substrate. They are studied and optimized thanks to analytical formulations of the magnetic field created by the permanent magnets. Results are presented for a deep RIE etched 7.5 mm radius silicon membrane structured with 40 stiffening ribs and on a 30 μm thick microcoil with 35 turns.     

Field Calculations for Permanent Magnets used for Glow Discharges

If a permanent magnet has both a homogeneous polarization inside the material and a linear demagnetization characteristic in external fields, its magnetic field can be expressed using a surface pole model. For magnets satisfying these conditions and, in addition, having a rectangular shape, the fields at any given point in space can be calculated analytically. An algorithm for this calculation is presented in a form that can easily be implemented into a computer program. In our experiments we used Nd₂Fe₁₄B magnets to support low pressure glow discharges by magnetic fields. The magnets can be seen as composed of elementary magnets with rectangular shape, for which the magnetic field distribution is calculable. We present results of field calculations for various configurations of permanent magnets that we used in hollow cathode and Penning discharges.     

Effect of γ-ray irradiation on the magnetic properties of NdFeB and Fe–Cr–Co permanent magnets

The effect of γ-ray irradiation on the magnetic properties of NdFeB and Fe–Cr–Co permanent magnets has been investigated. The magnetic flux loss of two kinds of magnets before and after irradiation was measured. Results show that the effect of γ-ray irradiation on the magnetic properties of sintered NdFeB is not so obvious as that on Fe–Cr–Co magnet. Irradiation-induced damage from γ-ray for the Fe–Cr–Co magnets was characterized for the first time. The decline of permanent magnetic properties of Fe–Cr–Co magnet induced by γ-ray irradiation is reversible except for the maximum energy product (BH)_max. The difference of coercivity mechanism between these two kinds of permanent magnets is responsible for the different dependence of magnetic properties loss induced by γ-ray irradiation.     

Stabilization of the Polarity of (NdSmDy)(FeCo)B Permanent Magnets for Application in Magnetic Undulators

The temperature dependences of the magnetization of polycrystalline samples of (NdSmDy)(FeCo)B sintered permanent magnets are measured in various magnetic fields by a SQUID magnetometer. Near T = 110 K, the spin-reorientation transition occurs. Bistable magnetic states with two equally possible orientations of the magnetization vector corresponding to different polarities of the permanent magnet are formed in the samples near the spin-reorientation transition. The polarity of the sintered magnets can be stabilized by a small external magnetic field of ～250 Oe. It provides new possibilities for the application of these magnets in cryomagnetic systems such as magnetic undulators.     

Levitation of a superconducting body in the field of N magnetic poles

Advanced magnetic technologies make it possible to create REE-based permanent magnets with a magnetic field sufficient for levitation. In this work, the feasibility of levitation in the field of arbitrarily (discretely or continuously) distributed magnetic poles is analyzed. A magnetic pole simulates a long and thin permanent magnet. The results obtained enable designing a levitator for an arbitrary distribution of magnets. A number of magnetic pole configurations is considered. The range of the levitator’s parameters providing stable equilibrium of the rotor in the magnetic field is found.     

Magnetostatic interactions and forces between cylindrical permanent magnets

Permanent magnets of various shapes are often utilized in magnetic actuators, sensors or releasable magnetic fasteners. Knowledge of the magnetic force is required to control devices reliably. Here, we introduce an analytical expression for calculating the attraction force between two cylindrical permanent magnets on the assumption of uniform magnetization. Although the assumption is not fulfilled exactly in cylindrical magnets, we obtain a very good agreement between the calculated and measured forces between two identical cylindrical magnets and within an array of NdFeB cylindrical magnets.

Coercivity mechanisms in nanostructured permanent magnets

Coercivity mechanism in permanent magnets has been debated for many years.In this paper, various models of the coercivity mechanism are classified and re-examined by the comparison and contrast.Coherent rotation and curling models can reveal the underlying reversal mechanism clearly based on isolated grains with elliptic shapes.By contrast, the numerical methods consider inter-grain interactions while simulating the evolution of the spins and hysteresis loops with complicated shapes.However, an exact simulation of magnetic reversal in permanent nanomagnets requires many meshes to mimic the thin domain wall well.Nucleation and pinning are the two main coercivity mechanisms in permanent magnets.The former signifies the beginning of the magnetic reversal, whilst the latter completes it.Recently, it is proposed that the large difference between the intrinsic magnetic properties of the nucleation centers and those of the main phase can result in a large pinning field(self-pinning), which has the attributes of both traditional nucleation and pinning.Such a pinning explains the experimental data of permanent magnets very well, including the enhancement of the coercivity by the grain boundary pinning.
