The magnetic and mechanical properties of soft magnetic powder composites (SMC) have been recently significantly improved. Within the project “Design and analysis of an electric motor based on new material components (SMC)” Daimler AG, the Institute of Electrical Engineering (ETI) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and PMG Füssen GmbH examined and evaluated the use of soft magnetic ...

The Fe-Ni-Sb-B amorphous alloy has been prepared by a solid-solid chemical reaction of ferric trichloride, nickel chloride, antimony chloride and potassium borohydride powders at room temperature. The inductive couple plasma study indicates that the resultant is composed of Fe 5.38 %, Ni 56.19 %, Sb 29.02 % and B 0.44 %. The XRD and thermal analysis show that the alloy is a non-strict sense amo...

Soft magnetic composite (SMC) materials are especially suitable for construction of electrical machines with complex structures and three-dimensional (3-D) magnetic fluxes. In the design and optimization of such 3-D flux machines, the 3-D vector magnetic properties of magnetic materials should be properly determined, modeled and applied for accurate calculation of the magnetic field distributio...

Properties of soft biological tissues are increasingly used in medical diagnosis to detect various abnormalities, for example, in liver fibrosis or breast tumors. It is well known that mechanical stiffness of human organs can be obtained from organ responses to shear stress waves through Magnetic Resonance Elastography. The Local Interaction Simulation Approach is proposed for effective modelli...

cofe/cu multilayer nanowires were electrodeposited into anodic aluminum oxide templates prepared by a two-step mild anodization method, using the single-bath technique. nanowires with 30 nm diameter and the definite lengths were obtained. the effect of cofe layers thickness and annealing on the magnetic behavior of the multilayer nanowires was investigated. the layers thickness was controlled t...
