Calculation and analysis of unbalanced magnetic pulls of different stator winding setups in static eccentric induction motor

In large-scale electric machines, unbalanced magnetic pull(UMP) caused by eccentricity usually results in stator-rotor rub, so it is necessary to investigate the amplitude and the influencing factors. This paper takes the squirrel-cage induction motor as an example. A magnetic loop model of an induction motor is established by an analytical method. The impact of stator winding setup(parallel branch and pole pairs) on each magnetomotive force(MMF) and unbalanced magnetic pull is analyzed. Using the finite element simulation method, the spatial and time distribution of flux density of the rotor outer circle under static eccentricity is obtained, and the unbalanced magnetic pull calculation caused by static eccentricity is completed. The conclusion of the influence of stator winding on the size of unbalanced magnetic pull provides reliable gist for motor noise and vibration analysis, and especially provides an important reference for large induction motor design.     

Stability analysis of a rotor–bearing system with time-varying bearing stiffness due to finite number of balls and unbalanced force

Previous investigations have indicated that the finite number of balls can cause the bearing stiffness to vary periodically. However, effects of unbalanced force in a rotor–bearing system on the bearing stiffness have not received sufficient attention. The present work reveals that the unbalanced force can also make the bearing stiffness vary periodically. The parametric excitations from the time-varying bearing stiffness can cause instability and severe vibration under certain operating conditions. Therefore, the determination of the operating conditions of parametric instability is crucial to the design of high speed rotating machinery. In this paper, an extended Jones–Harris stiffness model is presented to ascertain the stiffness of the angular contact ball bearing considering five degrees of freedom. Stability analysis of a rigid rotor–bearing system is performed utilizing the discrete state transition matrix (DSTM) method. The effects of unbalanced force, bearing loads and damping on the instability regions are discussed thoroughly. Investigations mainly show that the time-varying bearing stiffness fluctuates sinusoidally due to finite number of balls and unbalanced force. The locations and widths of the instability regions caused by these two parametric excitations differ distinctly. Unbalanced force could change the widths of the instability regions, but without altering their central positions. The axial and radial loads of the bearing only change the positions of the instability regions, without affecting their widths. Besides, damping can reduce the widths of the instability regions.     

Collective excitations and instability of an optical lattice due to unbalanced pumping

We solve self-consistently the coupled equations of motion for trapped particles and the field of a one-dimensional optical lattice. Optomechanical coupling creates long-range interaction between the particles, whose nature depends crucially on the relative power of the pump beams. For asymmetric pumping, traveling density wavelike collective oscillations arise in the lattice, even in the overdamped limit. By increasing the lattice size or pump asymmetry, these waves can destabilize the lattice.

New friction force due to spontaneous light pressure

We have discovered a new friction force, acting on an atom in the field of two oppositely propagating elliptically polarized waves of low intensity. In contrast to the well-known friction forces, the new force does not vanish at zero detuning of the field from resonance, and the direction of the kinetic process (heating or cooling) is determined by the relative orientation and the ellipticity of the polarization vectors of the oppositely propagating waves.

Magnetic force microscopy study of magnetic stray-field effects due to mechanical surface modifications of patterned Permalloy thin films

The domain structure of magnetic thin films is strongly influenced by the presence of surface defects. We have used a scanning tunneling microscope for local surface modifications of thin Permalloy films by mechanical interaction between tip and sample. The changes of the magnetic stray-field distribution due to local topographic modifications have been probed by magnetic force microscopy. The relationship between the surface morphology and the micromagnetic structure is studied for different types of surface modifications.     

Variable magnetic field and temperature magnetic force microscopy

Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) studies of epitaxial MnAs films on GaAs(001) have been performed as a function of the applied magnetic field and the sample temperature. For this purpose, we combined a stable variable-temperature sample stage with a compact magnet assembly to fit a commercial magnetic force microscope. In order to keep the thermal drift that affects MFM measurements low, we employed a permanent magnet that can be rotated in a yoke assembly guiding the magnetic flux to the sample.

Temperature dependence of the stability of written bits in a magnetic hard-disk medium investigated by magnetic force microscopy

The thermal stability of written bits in a magnetic hard-disk medium has been investigated with a magnetic force microscope (MFM), which was equipped with an in situ heating system capable of heating the medium up to 300 °C. It is shown that both the annealing temperature and the duration have significant effect on the decay of the MFM signal. No signal decay is observed when annealing for 30 min up to temperatures of 200 °C. The MFM signal decays rapidly with increasing temperature, for temperatures over 200 °C. Repeated annealing at 280 °C with a duration below 10 min does not cause any signal decay.     

Charge ordering due to magnetic symmetry breaking

It is argued that both transitions observed in 50% doped manganites, at the Néel temperature (T(N)) and the so-called charge ordering temperature (T(CO)), are magnetic. T(N) corresponds to the order-disorder transition, which takes place between ferromagnetic zigzag chains, while the coherent motion of spins within the chains is destroyed only around T(CO). The magnetic structure below T(CO) is highly anisotropic. It is dressed by the lattice distortion and leads to the huge anisotropy of the electronic structure, which explains stability of this state as well as the form of the charge-orbital pattern above T(N). The type of phase transition at T=T(N) is determined by lattice interactions.     

Evolution of nuclear shells due to the tensor force

The monopole effect of the tensor force is presented, exhibiting how spherical single-particle energies are shifted as protons or neutrons occupy certain orbits. An analytic relation for such shifts is shown, and their general features are explained intuitively. Single-particle levels are shown to change in a systematic and robust way, by using the pi + rho meson exchange tensor potential, consistently with the chiral perturbation idea. Several examples are compared with experiments.     

Scaling of transverse nuclear magnetic relaxation due to magnetic nanoparticle aggregation

The aggregation of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles decreases the transverse nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation time of adjacent water molecules measured by a Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) pulse-echo sequence. This effect is commonly used to measure the concentrations of a variety of small molecules. We perform extensive Monte Carlo simulations of water diffusing around SPIO nanoparticle aggregates to determine the relationship between and details of the aggregate. We find that in the motional averaging regime scales as a power law with the number N of nanoparticles in an aggregate. The specific scaling is dependent on the fractal dimension d of the aggregates. We find for aggregates with d=2.2, a value typical of diffusion limited aggregation. We also find that in two-nanoparticle systems, is strongly dependent on the orientation of the two nanoparticles relative to the external magnetic field, which implies that it may be possible to sense the orientation of a two-nanoparticle aggregate. To optimize the sensitivity of SPIO nanoparticle sensors, we propose that it is best to have aggregates with few nanoparticles, close together, measured with long pulse-echo times.

Impact on the magnetic compressor due to CSR

When an electron bunch is compressed in a chicane compressor, the CSR (coherent synchrotron radiation) will induce energy redistribution along the bunch. Such energy redistribution will affect the longitudinal emittance as a direct consequence. It will also excite betatron oscillation due to the chromatic transfer functions, and hence a transverse emittance change. So, it is indispensable for us to find a way to alleviate the CSR-caused emittance dilution and the bad result of chicane compressor in PKU-FEL.     

Hydrophobic force,a Casimir-like effect due to hydrogen-bond fluctuations

Hydrophobic force, interfacial tension, and transverse density profile in a confined water system are addressed from first principles of statistical mechanics in a lattice model for water. Using the molecular mean field theory technique we deduce explicit expressions for each of the above mentioned phenomena and show that hydrophobic force is a manifestation of a Casimir-like effect due to hydrogen-bond fluctuations in confined water. It is largely influenced by the long range correlations of orientational fluctuations. Furthermore, the temperature dependence of hydrophobic force between large non-polar surfaces is suggested to be different from that between small solutes. The mechanisms contributing to characteristic behavior in each case are identified. In the case of large surfaces, the prevalence of discrete fluctuation modes in the confinement direction and their entropic contribution to the overall free energy dominate the temperature dependence. Mode discretization is also implicated in the variation of interfacial tension with separation distance between confining surfaces and characteristic density profile of the confined fluid. All the computations are parameter free and compare favorably with results of molecular dynamics simulations and experiments.

Long-range magnetic interaction due to the Casimir effect

The zero-point quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field in vacuum are known to give rise to a long-range attractive force between metal plates (Casimir effect). For ferromagnetic layers separated by vacuum, it is shown that the interplay of the Casimir effect and of the magneto-optical Kerr effect gives rise to a long-range magnetic interaction. The Casimir magnetic force is found to decay as D-1 in the limit of short distances, and as D-5 in the limit of long distances. Explicit expressions for realistic systems are given in the large- and small-distance limits. An experimental test of the Casimir magnetic interaction is proposed.     

Spatial and force resolution of magnetic force microscopy in current imaging

Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) can be used to image current distributions in current leads of sub-micron dimensions. Here we present a systematic study about the spatial and force resolution of such currents. In the case of force resolution, we studied the least measurable magnetic force of MFM for different sample currents. The analysis of images from parallel Al conducting plates are combined with those from force-distance curves and finite element calculations. Several interacting regimes between the magnetic tip and the currents are found and interpreted. It is shown that model calculations are necessary even for qualitative image interpretation. Then spatial resolution in the range of 100nm can well be obtained and quantitative studies of current distribution on widths of 10nm resolution are possible in special cases. The approach is demonstrated in imaging the current distribution in superconducting Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O _x single crystals.
