Electrical resistivity, dc magnetization, ac magnetic susceptibility, and magnetic relaxation studies of polycrystalline Pr(0.2)La(0.8)Fe(11.4)Al(1.6) compound have been carried out. On the basis of the measurements of isofield magnetization and ac magnetic susceptibility, we provide evidence for phase coexistence (the appearance of the ferromagnetic phase in the antiferromagnetic matrix) rathe...

Flux line dynamics have been investigated on MgB2 bulk superconductors obtained by reactive liquid infiltration by measuring the ac magnetic susceptibility. The fundamental and third harmonics have been studied as a function of temperature, dc magnetic field, ac field amplitude and frequency. In order to determine the dynamical regimes governing the vortex motion, the experimental results have ...

We report on experimental studies focusing on the dynamic ac magnetic susceptibility of a ferronematic. It has been shown recently, that in the isotropic phase of a ferronematic, a weak dc bias magnetic field of a few oersteds increases the ac magnetic susceptibility. This increment vanishes irreversibly if the substance is cooled down to the nematic phase, but can be reinduced by applying the ...

Matrix converter is a single-stage converter which directly connects a three-phase voltage source to a three-phase load without dc-link components. Therefore, any harmonic distortion and imbalance in input voltage directly reflect to the output of the converter. Recently, many researchers have made an effort to cope with this problem. In this paper, under distorted input voltage conditions, beh...

The temperature dependent complex AC susceptibilities of high temperature superconducting disks in perpendicular AC magnetic fields (in absence of DC magnetic field) have been calculated from first principles. The temperature dependent AC susceptibilities for different AC field amplitudes, AC field frequencies, reduced pinning potential, and sample thickness have been derived, which demonstrate...

To investigate the correlations between different thicknesses and heat treatments, this study used a sputtering method to create CoFeY films. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed appearance oxide peaks at 2? = 47.7°, 54.5°, 56.3° in agreement with YFeO3 (212), Co2O3 (422), (511), respectively. findings also demonstrated relationship low-frequency alternative-current magnetic suscepti...

Most of the ac-ac converters used in home-appliances are based on single-output dc-link inverters, which provides a cost-effective and straight-forward solution. However, this twostage power conversion decreases power density and efficiency. Direct ac-ac conversion has been thoroughly studied in the past. However, the complex control scheme and higher cost has prevented it from being used in lo...

The temperature and field dependence of alternating-current (ac) susceptibility in a Ni50Mn25Ga25 single crystal was measured using an ac susceptometer with a dc magnetic field oriented in the [100] and [110] directions, respectively. It is found that even at very low fields the premartensitic transition temperature decreases monotonically with the increase of the applied field, and it decrease...

The effect of cooling process for the synthesis and the superconductivity properties of Pb-substituted Bi-based materials, has been investigated. The preparation condition for the formation of (2,2,2,3) phase has been examined. The influence of thermal condition of the synthesis and quenching on the critical temperature and the content of 110K phase was investigated. Results of the ac-susceptib...
