With the LHC the technology of NbTi-based accelerator magnets has been pushed to the limit. By operating in superfluid helium, magnetic fields in excess of 10 T have been reached in various one meter-long model magnets while full scale magnets, 15 meter-long dipoles, have demonstrated possibility of safe operation in the 8.3–9 tesla range, with the necessary, very tight, field accuracy. The pap...

The use of permanent magnets (PM) is increasing in permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM) to fulfill the requirements of high efficiency machines in modern industry. PMSM are widely used in industrial applications, wind power plants and the automotive industry. Since PMSM are used in different environmental conditions, the long-term effect of NdFeB-based magnets at high temperatures and t...

We report on a class of configurations of permanent magnets on an atom chip for producing 1D and 2D periodic arrays of magnetic microtraps with non-zero potential minima and variable barrier height for trapping and manipulating ultracold atoms and quantum degenerate gases. We present analytical expressions for the relevant physical quantities and compare them with our numerical results and with...

In most cases beam is injected into electron storage rings in the horizontal plane and off-axis. The larger the horizontal emittance of the injected beam the larger the acceptance of the ring has to be. The injected beam is usually delivered by a synchrotron. In case the vertical acceptance of the ring is sufficiently large one can take advantage of the small vertical emittance reached in well ...

Recently, the ordering of pyrochlore magnets consisting of corner-sharing network of tetrahedra has attracted much attention due to an intrinsic effect of geometrical frustration. Intensive studies were performed in particular on “spin-ice” magnets, e.g., Ho2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7, which possesses a strong Ising-like < 111 > magnetic anisotropy and exhibits an intriguing glassy behavior analogous t...

The general expression for magnetic induction in the z axis direction is derived from magnetic scalar potential, and magnetic induction for biplanar shimming coils (BSCs) is also derived from magnetic vector potentials and Green functions, which simultaneously include Sin and Cos harmonic fields. The relationship between these expressions is discussed, and we show they are partially consistent....

We show that it is possible to build up a consistent model describing a superconducting cosmic string (SCS) endowed with torsion. A full string solution is obtained by matching the internal and the external solutions. We derive the deficit angle, the geodesics of and the gravitational force on a test-particle moving under the action of this screwed SCS. A couple of potentially observable astrop...

To realize the stability of the passive magnetic robotic system, a novel combination of permanent magnets is proposed. As we know, a single passive magnetic levitation is impossible to suspend all degrees of freedom of a rigid body; this article researches the combination of multiple passive magnetic bearings by the finite element method (FEM) simulation. Through changing the magnetization dire...

This paper reports a micromachined Geiger counter with integrated permanent magnets that enhance the RF transmission from the discharges initiated by incident beta particles. With the intent of wireless sensing within the ultra wideband (UWB) spectrum, the transmission in the 2.0-2.8 GHz frequency range is investigated. The device consists of a 1x2 cm micromachined glass/Si cavity sandwiched be...

A parylene coating is frequently used to prevent corrosion of neodymium-iron-boron magnets when they are used intra-orally. This in vitro study was designed to test the durability of parylene coating in a simulated oral environment. Single and double parylene-coated magnets were subjected to grinding and crushing forces in an industrial ball mill. The results demonstrate that abrasion and wear ...
