Design of magnet arrays for permanent magnetic linear motor

An iron-less single side permanent magnetic linear motor structure is presented,and two-dimensional analytical formulae for its magnetic field are deduced to design the types of magnetic arrays,the thickness of permanent magnet,and the duty ratio of magnet arrays,etc.With certain design parameters,conventional arrays are used instead of a piecewise Halbach arrays,and the machining and assembling of the motor are greatly simplified.Calculation results coincide with that of ANSYS.The analytical formulae can be used in designing cored linear motors by modifying boundary conditions.A linear motor driven bench with a single degree of freedom is realized,where the travel reaches 27 mm,the mass of the moving parts is 1.4 kg,and the maximum acceleration is 11.5 m/s^(2).

Magnetic Array Assisted Triboelectric Nanogenerator Sensor for Real‑Time Gesture Interaction

In human-machine interaction,robotic hands are useful in many scenarios.To operate robotic hands via gestures instead of handles will greatly improve the convenience and intuition of human-machine interaction.Here,we present a magnetic array assisted sliding triboelectric sensor for achieving a real-time gesture interaction between a human hand and robotic hand.With a finger’s traction movement of flexion or extension,the sensor can induce positive/negative pulse signals.Through counting the pulses in unit time,the degree,speed,and direction of finger motion can be judged in realtime.The magnetic array plays an important role in generating the quantifiable pulses.The designed two parts of magnetic array can transform sliding motion into contact-separation and constrain the sliding pathway,respectively,thus improve the durability,low speed signal amplitude,and stability of the system.This direct quantization approach and optimization of wearable gesture sensor provide a new strategy for achieving a natural,intuitive,and real-time human-robotic interaction.

Magnetic field of mathematical modeling and simulation of 3D magnetic pole array spherical actuator

In this paper a new spherical actuator is designed and its advantages are compared to an existing spherical actuator, which function is limited by several design bottlenecks. First the output torque is too small. Second, the attitude is difficult to be accurately detected. The new three-dimen- sional magnetic pole array can solve these major problems. The new actuator features an outer rotor with multiple permanent magnet （PM） poles. Using an analytical solution and the finite element so- lution simulation, the feasibility of the approach is verified. A prototype was developed, tested, and experiments were conducted to obtain the practical value of the magnetic flux density.

Single layer atom chip for magnetically trapping one-dimensional array of ultracold atoms

We propose a wire configuration to create a one-dimensional （1D） array of magnetic microtraps for trapping ultracold atoms. The configuration is formed by replacing the central part of the Z-wire pattern with a zigzag wire. We simulate the performance of this pattern by the finite element method which can take both the width and depth of the wire into consideration. The result of simulation shows that this configuration can create magnetic microtraps which can be separated and combined by changing bias magnetic field. We manage to split Z-wire trap and prove that similar result can occur for the new wire configuration. The fabrication processes of the atom chip are also introduced. Finally we discuss the loading method.

Interplay between out-of-plane magnetic plasmon and lattice resonance for modified resonance lineshape and near-field enhancement in double nanoparticles array

Two-dimensional double nanoparticle （DNP） arrays are demonstrated theoretically, supporting the interaction between out-of-plane magnetic plasmons and in-plane lattice resonances, which can be achieved by tuning the nanoparticle height or the array period due to the height-dependent magnetic resonance and the periodicity-dependent lattice resonance. The interplay between the two plasmon modes can lead to a remarkable change in resonance lineshape and an improvement on magnetic field enhancement. Simultaneous electric field and magnetic field enhancement can be obtained in the gap region between neighboring particles at two resonance frequencies as the interplay occurs, which presents “open” cavities as electromagnetic field hot spots for potential applications on detection and sensing. The results not only offer an attractive way to tune the optical responses of plasmonic nanostructure, but also provide further insight into the plasmon interactions in periodic nanostructure or metamaterials comprising multiple elements.

A low-outgassing-rate carbon fiber array cathode

In this paper, a new carbon fiber based cathode — a low-outgassing-rate carbon fiber array cathode — is investigated experimentally, and the experimental results are compared with those of a polymer velvet cathode. The carbon fiber array cathode is constructed by inserting bunches of carbon fibers into the cylindrical surface of the cathode. In experiment, the diode base pressure is maintained at 1×10^（-2） Pa–2×10^（-2） Pa, and the diode is driven by a compact pulsed power system which can provide a diode voltage of about 100 kV and pulse duration of about 30 ns at a repetition rate of tens of Hz.Real-time pressure data are measured by a magnetron gauge. Under the similar conditions, the experimental results show that the outgassing rate of the carbon fiber array cathode is an order smaller than that of the velvet cathode and that this carbon fiber array cathode has better shot-to-shot stability than the velvet cathode. Hence, this carbon fiber array cathode is demonstrated to be a promising cathode for the radial diode, which can be used in magnetically insulated transmission line oscillator（MILO） and relativistic magnetron（RM）.

Assembling and Test of a Halbach Array Magnet System for Lorentz Forece Velocimetry in Electrolytes

The paper presents a Halbach array magnet system(HAMS)for the application within a very first Lorentz force velocimetry(LFV)experiment for electrolytic flows.Here the design,assembling procedure and characterization method are presented under consideration of the strict limited weight of the system.HAMS increase the Lorentz force outcome by a factor of three compared to the currently used simple magnet systems.Furthermore the fluid profile influence on a LFV measurement on electrolytes is investigated numerically-directly on the planned test setup-and presented for the first time.Here the Lorentz forces,generated by the HAMS,decreases by 8%comparing an ideal plug-like profile at the inlet with a semi-parabolic profile arising near the outlet of the experiment.

Magnetic focusing of cold atomic beam with a 2D array of current-carrying wires

A new scheme to realize a two-dimensional （2D） array of magnetic micro-lenses for a cold atomic beam. formed by an array of square current-carrying wires, is proposed. We calculate the spatial distributions of the magnetic fields from the array of current-carrying wires and the magnetic focusing potential for cold rubidium atoms, and study the dynamic focusing processes of cold atoms passing through the mag- netic micro-lens array and its focusing properties by using Monte-Carlo simulations and trajectory tracing method. The result shows that the proposed micro-lens array can be used to focus effectively a cold atomic beam, even to load ultracold atoms or a BEC sample into a 2D optical lattice formed by blue detuned hollow beams.

Equivalent radiation source of 3D package for electromagnetic characteristics analysis

An equivalent radiation source method is proposed to characterize electromagnetic emission and interference of complex three dimensional integrated circuits（IC） in this paper.The method utilizes amplitude-only near-field scanning data to reconstruct an equivalent magnetic dipole array,and the differential evolution optimization algorithm is proposed to extract the locations,orientation and moments of those dipoles.By importing the equivalent dipoles model into a 3D full-wave simulator together with the victim circuit model,the electromagnetic interference issues in mixed RF/digital systems can be well predicted.A commercial IC is used to validate the accuracy and efficiency of this proposed method.The coupled power at the victim antenna port calculated by the equivalent radiation source is compared with the measured data.Good consistency is obtained which confirms the validity and efficiency of the method.
