Interchange reconnection at the Sun, that is, reconnection between a doublyconnected field loop and singly-connected or open field line that extends to infinity, has important implications for the heliospheric magnetic flux budget. Recent work on the topic is reviewed, with emphasis on two aspects. The first is a possible heliospheric signature of interchange reconnection at the coronal hole bo...

This paper aims to present the design aspects of electrical motors with soft magnetic composite (SMC) core. Combined classical and modern analysis procedures are proposed for developing SMC motors. A permanent magnet claw pole motor using SMC material as the stator core was firstly designed by the equivalent magnetic circuit method. Threedimensional finite element magnetic field analysis was co...

A new SPICE-compatible behavioral model for an arbitrary nonlinear magnetic circuit was developed and verified experimentally. The proposed model was used to analyze a current controlled magnetic inductor behavior. The nonlinearity of the ferromagnetic medium was reproduced by applying the core manufacturer data. Close agreement was obtained between the simulation and experimental results.

The paper outlines a method for inclusion of the impact of eddy-currents in the model for dynamic prediction of current waveform and force of a switched reluctance machine. The method is based on the equivalent electric circuit model which accounts for the impacts of magnetic saturation and eddy currents in the magnetic core. A linear tubular switched reluctance machine, which includes solid st...

It is shown experimentally that a relatively low longitudinal magnetic field applied causes a noticeable change in the velocity of autosoliton travel in InSb samples and a visible redistribution of these autosolitons in the electric field. As a result, the current oscillation frequency and amplitude in the external circuit of the sample either increase or decrease depending on the direction of ...

Thermoelectric properties of nanowires in a magnetic field are studied. Magnetic splitting of thermopower peaks associated with electronic energy levels that are degenerate at zero field, leading to the development of separate thermopower peaks at larger fields, are predicted. A scheme is described for measuring thermopower in a circuit containing a nanowire and leads made from the same materia...
