Shape dependence of magnetoresistive element suppressing Barkhausen noise.

Shape of a Barkhausen Pulse

The average shape of the pulse in Barkhausen noise has been recently proposed as a tool to compare models and experiments. We compute theoretically the pulse shape of Barkhausen noise in a model describing the motion of a domain wall in an effective Brownian potential. In this framework, the pulse shape is related to the properties of the excursion of a random process in a c log(x)− kx potentia...

Barkhausen Noise Modelof Microdefect Characterization

The testing method using Barkhausen noise (B.N) is a particular method, which can be applied on ferromagnetic materials. It is a magnetic non destructive evaluation (NDE) method and can provide very important information about the material microstructure. The work here presented documents the ability to determine the metallurgical state of steel. A new approach is studied of defects; microstruc...

Excess-noise dependence on intracavity aperture shape.

In lasers with nonorthogonal eigenmodes the excess-noise factor K can be large, especially in unstable-cavity lasers with hard-edged intracavity apertures. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first detailed study of the dependence of K on aperture shape. Calculations and measurements of K for unstable-cavity lasers with variable-size apertures of triangular, square, pentagonal, hexagona...
