Variable single-axis magnetic-field generator using permanent magnets Oleg Tretiak,1 Peter Bl¨umler,1 and Lykourgos Bougas1, a) Institut f¨urPhysik, Johannes Gutenberg Universit¨at-Mainz,55128 Mainz, Germany (Dated: 12 November 2018) We present a design for producing precisely adjustable and alternating single-axis magnetic fields based on nested Halbach dipole pairs consisting of permanent magnets only. Our design allows for three dimensional optical and mechanical access to a region with strong adjustable dipolar fields, is compatible with systems operating under vacuum, and does not effectively dissipate heat under normal operational conditions. We present a theoretical analysis of the properties and capabilities of our design, and construct a proof-of-concept prototype. Using our prototype, we demonstrate fields of up to several kilogauss with field homogeneities of better than 5%, which are harmonically modulated at frequencies of ∼1 Hz with a power consumption of approximately 1 W. Moreover, we discuss how our design can be modified to generate adjustable quadrupolar magnetic fields with gradients as large as 9.5 T/m in a region of optical and mechanical access. Our design is scalable and can be constructed to be suitable for table-top experiments, as in the case of polarimetric and magnetometric setups that require strong alternating magnetic fields, but also for large scale applications such as generators. Special arrangements of magnetic structures that in- crease the magnetic flux on one side of the arrangement while reducing, or even cancelling, it on the opposite side, were first theoretically proposed by Mallinson 1, but later realized by K. -

An adjustable linear Halbach array J. E. Hiltona,∗, S. M. McMurryb aCSIRO Mathematics, Informatics and Statistics, Clayton South, VIC 3169, Australia bSchool of Physics, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Abstract The linear Halbach array is a well known planar magnetic structure ca- pable, in the idealized case, of generating a one-sided magnetic field. We show that such a field can be created from an array of uniformly magnetized rods, and rotating these rods in an alternating fashion can smoothly transfer the resultant magnetic field through the plane of the device. We examine an idealized model composed of infinite line dipoles and carry out computa- tional simulations on a realizable device using a magnetic boundary element method. -
Dynamic Suspension Modeling of an Eddy-Current Device: an Application to Maglev
DYNAMIC SUSPENSION MODELING OF AN EDDY-CURRENT DEVICE: AN APPLICATION TO MAGLEV by Nirmal Paudel A dissertation submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering Charlotte 2012 Approved by: Dr. Jonathan Z. Bird Dr. Yogendra P. Kakad Dr. Robert W. Cox Dr. Scott D. Kelly ii c 2012 Nirmal Paudel ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT NIRMAL PAUDEL. Dynamic suspension modeling of an eddy-current device: an application to Maglev. (Under the direction of DR. JONATHAN Z. BIRD) When a magnetic source is simultaneously oscillated and translationally moved above a linear conductive passive guideway such as aluminum, eddy-currents are in- duced that give rise to a time-varying opposing field in the air-gap. This time-varying opposing field interacts with the source field, creating simultaneously suspension, propulsion or braking and lateral forces that are required for a Maglev system. In this thesis, a two-dimensional (2-D) analytic based steady-state eddy-current model has been derived for the case when an arbitrary magnetic source is oscillated and moved in two directions above a conductive guideway using a spatial Fourier transform technique. The problem is formulated using both the magnetic vector potential, A, and scalar potential, φ. Using this novel A-φ approach the magnetic source needs to be incorporated only into the boundary conditions of the guideway and only the magnitude of the source field along the guideway surface is required in order to compute the forces and power loss. -

Amati Department of Mechanical and Department of Mechanical and Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Politecnico di Torino Politecnico di Torino Politecnico di Torino Torino, Italy Torino, Italy Torino, Italy A. Tonoli Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Politecnico di Torino Torino, Italy Abstract Electrodynamic bearings (EDBs) are passive magnetic bearings that exploit the interaction between eddy currents developed in a rotating conductor and a static magnetic field to generate forces. Similar to other types of magnetic suspensions, EDBs provide contactless support, thus avoiding problems with lubrication, friction and wear. The most interesting aspect of EDBs is that levitation can be obtained by passive means, hence, no electronic equipment, such as power electronics or sensors, are necessary. Despite their promising characteristics, rotors running on EDBs are still lacking a design procedure; furthermore, at present the static behavior of a bearing can only be defined by means of finite element analyses. The aim of the present paper is to present a methodology that allows performing a first approximation design without resorting to detailed FE analyses. The methodology is based on the use of non-dimensional parameters, similar to the analysis of fluid bearings (Sommerfeld number). The non-dimensional quantities are derived using dimensional analysis, and contain the main geometrical and physical parameters determining the EDBs' performance. The relation between the non-dimensional quantities characterizing the static performance of the EDB is derived using FE simulations and is presented in the form of graphs. -
Table-Top NMR System for High-Pressure Studies with In-Situ Laser Heating

However, significant maintenance demands, space requirements and high costs of superconducting magnets render its application unfeasible for regular modern high pressure lab- oratories. Here, we present a table-top NMR system based on permanent Halbach magnet arrays with dimensions of 25 cm diameter and 4 cm height. At the highest field of 1013 mT, 1H-NMR spectra of Ice VII have been recorded at 25 GPa and ambient temperature. The table-top NMR system can be used together with double sided laser heating set-ups. Feasibility of high-pressure 1 high-temperature NMR was demonstrated by collecting H-NMR spectra of H2O at 25 GPa and 1063(50) K. We found that the change in signal intensity in laser-heated NMR diamond anvil cell yields a convenient way for temperature measurements. I.

Although lots of efforts have been made in this area, it still remains some space for improvements. Thus the goal of this work is to report a flexible, fast and trustworthy H-formulation finite element model. First the methodology for modeling and calibrating both bulk-type and stack-type SMB is summarized. Then its effectiveness for simulating SMBs in 2-D, 2-D axisymmetric and 3-D is evaluated by comparison with measurements. In particular, original solutions to overcome several obstacles are given: clarification of the calibration procedure for stack-type and bulk-type SMBs, details on the experimental protocol to obtain reproducible measurements, validation of the 2-D model for a stack-type SMB modeling the tapes real thickness, implementation of a 2-D axisymmetric SMB model, implementation of a 3-D SMB model, extensive validation of the models by comparison with experimental results for field cooling and zero field cooling, for both vertical and lateral movements. -

Halbach Arrays at the Nanoscale from Chiral Spin Textures
Halbach arrays at the nanoscale from chiral spin textures Miguel A. Marioni,∗ Marcos Penedo, Mirko Ba´cani,Johannes Schwenk,y and Hans J. Hugz Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, CH-8600 D¨ubendorf, Switzerland. (Dated: August 22, 2017) Abstract Mallinson's idea[1] that some spin textures in planar magnetic structures could produce an en- hancement of the magnetic flux on one side of the plane at the expense of the other gave rise to permanent magnet configurations known as Halbach[2] magnet arrays. Applications range from wiggler magnets in particle accelerators and free electron lasers[3], to motors[4], to magnetic levi- tation trains[5], but exploiting Halbach arrays in micro- or nanoscale spintronics devices requires solving the problem of fabrication and field metrology below 100 µm size[6]. In this work we show that a Halbach configuration of moments can be obtained over areas as small as 1 × 1 µm2 in sput- tered thin films with N´eel-type domain walls of unique domain wall chirality, and we measure their stray field at a controlled probe-sample distance of 12:0 ± 0:5 nm. Because here chirality is deter- mined by the interfacial Dyzaloshinkii-Moriya interaction[7] the field attenuation and amplification is an intrinsic property of this film, allowing for flexibility of design based on an appropriate defi- nition of magnetic domains. 100 nm-wide skyrmions illustrate the smallest kind of such structures, for which our measurement of stray magnetic fields and mapping of the spin structure shows they funnel the field toward one specific side of the film given by the sign of the Dyzaloshinkii-Moriya interaction parameter D. -

Low Field MRI Using Halbach Ferromagnet Arrays
Low Field MRI using Halbach Ferromagnet Arrays THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of BACHELOR OF SCIENCE in PHYSICS Author : K. van Deelen Student ID : s1282220 Supervisor : A.G. Webb 2nd corrector : T.H. Oosterkamp Leiden, The Netherlands, July 20, 2017 Low Field MRI using Halbach Ferromagnet Arrays K. van Deelen Huygens-Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory, Leiden University P.O. Box 9500, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands July 20, 2017 Abstract Since its discovery MRI quickly became an essential medical tool to help doctors make prognoses, as it allows one to look inside the body without using invasive techniques like CAT-scans or surgery. However, MRI’s are very expensive: around one million US dollars per Tesla of magnetic field, and require advanced facilities in order to operate (e.g. liquid helium), and thus are not accessible all over the world. This research explores developing a simpler and less expensive MRI, using ferromagnets in a Halbach array, producing a low magnetic field, with high enough homogeneity to still be able to make sharp enough images in order to make a prognoses on patients, e.g. Hydrocephalus in a child’s head. Several models are proposed and evaluated on field strength, homogeneity, weight, size and cost. Chapter 1 Introduction Ever since its discovery in 1971 by Paul C. Lauterbur [1], Magnetic Reso- nance Imaging (MRI) quickly became an essential tool in modern hospitals in the western world. With it, doctors can make prognoses without using invasive techniques, like CAT-scans or surgery, while still being able to make sharp images due to the high contrast in soft and hard tissue.
