Permanent Magnet Temperature Estimation for PMSMs Using Virtual Position-offset Injection

This paper proposes a virtual position-offset injection based permanent magnet temperature estimation approach for permanent magnet synchronous machines(PMSMs). The concept of virtual position-offset injection is mathematically transforming the machine model to a virtual frame with a position-offset. The virtual frame temperature estimation model is derived to calculate the permanent magnet temperature(PMT) directly from the measurements with computation efficiency. The estimation model involves a combined inductance term, which can simplify the establishment of saturation compensation model with less measurements. Moreover, resistance and inverter distorted terms are cancelled in the estimation model, which can improve the robustness to the winding temperature rise and inverter distortion. The proposed approach can achieve simplified computation in temperature estimation and reduced memory usage in saturation compensation. While existing model-based approaches could be affected by either the need of resistance and inverter information or complex saturation compensation. Experiments are conducted on the test machine to verify the proposed approach under various operating conditions.

TRANSIENT TEMPERATURE FIELD IN ACTIVE THRUST MAGNETIC BEARING

A transient temperature field model in a thrust magnetic bearing is built in which the heat resources come mainly from the eddy-current loss of solid cores and the copper loss of coils. The transient temperature field, system temperature rise and the thermo-equilibrium state during the rotor starting-up are calculated considering only the copper loss and the eddy-current loss. The numerical results indicate that the temperatures in coils and in magnets rise rapidly, their thermo-equilibrium states are formed within a short time. The temperatures in a thrust-disk and in a rotor rise slowly, their thermo-equilibrium states are formed aller a long period time. The temperatures of the thrust-disk and the rotor are far higher than the temperatures of coils and/or magnets aller the thermo-equilibrium state has come into being.

Microstructure and magnetic properties of directly quenched Nd_2Fe_(14)B/α-Fe nanocomposite materials at different temperatures

Directly quenched Nd9.5Fe81Zr3B6.5 nanocomposite permanent magnets were prepared under different melt treatment conditions, i.e., the melt temperature was varied prior to ejection onto the quenching wheel. The effect of quenching temperature on the microstructure and magnetic properties of the alloys was studied by X-ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy and magnetization measurements. It is found that a finer and more uniform microstructure can be obtained directly from the melt quenched at lower temperature. With increasing initial quenching temperature, the optimal quenching speed decreases and the microstructure of the ribbons becomes coarser and more irregular. As a result, the magnetic properties of the alloys are deteriorated. It is believed that the break of the pre-existing Nd2Fe14B clusters and decrease in number of the developing nuclei of Nd2Fe14B phase with increase in quenching temperature may be the causes for the change of the microstructure and the magnetic properties of the ribbons.

Effect of Annealing Temperature on Magnetic Aftereffect and Positron Lifetime in Fe_(73.5)Cu_1Nb_3Si_(13.5)B_9 Alloy

The magnetic aftereffect (MAE) and the positron lifetime were measured at room temperature on the Fe_73.5Cu_1 Nb_3Si_13.5 B_9 alloy in as-cast and after annealing at temperature T_a in the range from 450 to 750℃ It was found that both the MAE and the positron lifetime decrease with increasing T_a when T_≤600℃. While Ta≥650℃, MAE is essentially suppressed, and two positron lifetimes appear.

Temperature Dependence of Magnetic Properties of SmCo/FeCo Multilayer Films

Sm22Co78/Fe65Co35/Sm22Co78/Fe65Co35 multilayer films were prepared by magnetron sputtering. The temperature dependence of coercivity (Hc), remanence (Mr) and reduced remanence (Mr/Ms) has been measured. The coercivity decreases with increasing of temperature. The remanence decreases with increasing the temperature from 26 to 100℃, and then increases with continuously increasing the temperature from 100 to 150℃. The reduced remanence increases with increasing the temperature.

Discovery of controllable high Chern number quantum anomalous Hall state in tetragonal lattice FeSIn

Quantum anomalous Hall(QAH) insulators have excellent properties driven by fancy topological physics, but their practical application is greatly hindered by the observed temperature of liquid nitrogen, and the QAH insulator with high Chern number is conducive to spintronic devices with lower energy consumption. Here, we find that monolayer Fe SIn is a good candidate for realizing the QAH phase;it exhibits a high magnetic transition temperature of 221 K and tunable C = ±2 with respect to magnetization orientation in the y–z plane. After the application of biaxial strain, the magnetic axis shifts from the x–y plane to the z direction, and the effect of the high C and ferromagnetic ground state on the stress is robust. Also, the effect of correlation U on C has been examined. These properties are rooted in the large size of the Fe atom that contributes to ferromagnetic kinetic exchange with neighboring Fe atoms. These findings demonstrate monolayer Fe SIn to be a major template for probing novel QAH devices at higher temperatures.

Experimental study on freezing of liquids under static magnetic field

Freezing processes of several liquids under static magnetic field(SMF) less than 50 mT were investigated. Central temperature of liquid samples held in glass test tubes immersed in a liquid bath was measured and collected. Nucleation temperature and phase transition time were obtained from freezing curves. Normality tests were performed for nucleation temperature of these liquids with/without magnetic field and normality distributions were justified. Analysis of variances was carried out for nucleation temperature of these liquids with magnetic field flux density as the influencing factor. Results showed that no significant difference was found for deionized water with or without SMF. However, differences exist in 0.9% NaCl solution and 5% ethylene glycol solution with and without SMF. Nucleation temperature of 0.9% NaCl with SMF is lower than that without SMF, while its phase transition time is shorter than that without SMF. Nucleation temperature of 5% ethylene glycol with SMF is higher than that without SMF, while its phase transition time is not modified with SMF.

Effect of Sm-doping on the morphology and magnetic properties of radio frequency magnetron sputtered Ni-Mn-Ga films

Ni55.5Mn21Ga23.5 and Ni54Mn22Ga23Sml films were prepared by radio frequency （RF） magnetron sputtering. The effect of Sm do- pant on the morphologic and magnetic properties of Ni55.5Mn21Ga23.5 films was investigated. Sm doping can refine the particle size of the films from 100 to 60 nm, and further grain growth is not occurs even after annealing at 1073 K for 3.6 ks. Compared to Ni55.5Mn21Ga23.5 films, Sm-doped Ni54Mn22Ga23Sml films are easier to be magnetized and have a lower martensitic transformation temperature. In addition, the Curie temperature can also be adjusted, decreasing from 350 to 325 K after Sm doping. Martensitic transformation is not observed in the Sm-free films, which is close to the Curie temperature in the Sm-doped films, giving rise to the overlap of the structural and magnetic transi- tion temperatures.

Cellular microstructure modification and high temperature performance enhancement for Sm2Co17-based magnets with different Zr contents

Influence of Zr contents on high-temperature magnetic performance of Sm(CoFeCuZr)(x=0.025,0.03,0.035,0.04) magnets were investigated.As x increases from 0.025 to 0.04,the temperature coefficient of intrinsic coercivity(H) is optimized from-0.1673% K^(-1)to-0.1382% K^(-1)and the Hat 773 K gradually increases from 556.32 kA m^(-1)to 667 kA m^(-1).The microstructure and microchemistry of different Zr-content magnets were revealed by a transmission electron microscope equipped with EDS.The increasing Zr content induces that the average size of cells decreases from ~76 nm to ~56 nm and the weight fraction of 1:5 H cell boundary phase increases from ~25% to ~37% as well,resulting decreasing of the average Cu content at cell boundaries from 13.59 at% to ~8.52 at%.It is found that the Cu-lean characteristic at cell boundary phase is the reason that gives rise to higher magnetic properties at elevated temperatures for x=0.04 magnet.

Observational connection between local high-temperature phenomena within magnetic clouds and the Sun

Magnetic clouds(MCs) frequently show abnormal high-ionization states of heavy ions. The abnormal high-charge distributions are related to the coronal temperature of their source regions. We examined the plasma and magnetic field data of 74 MCs observed by the Advanced Composition Explorer from February 1998 to December 2008. We determined that 14 of the 74 events showed local high-temperature phenomena. We analyzed the correlation between proton temperature and O7/O6ratio(or high mean Fe charge state ?Fe?) within the local high-temperature regions in the 14 MCs. Results show that proton temperature and O7/O6 ratio(or high mean Fe charge state) had good correlations in nine MCs, but had no evident correlation in the other five MCs. The local high-temperature phenomena within the nine MCs have resulted from the Sun.

Temperature stability of magnetic field for periodic permanent-magnet focusing system

In this study, finite element analysis based on an Ansoft Maxwell software was used to reveal the temperature stability of a magnet ring and the equivalent structural periodic permanent-magnet（PPM） focusing system. It is found that with the temperature increasing, the decrease rate of magnetic induction peak（Bz）maxof single magnet ring is greater than that of remanence Brof magnet in the range from room temperature to 200 °C, however,the PPM focusing system do have the same temperature characteristics of permanent-magnet materials. It indicates that the magnetic temperature properties of the PPM system can be effectively controlled by adjusting the temperature properties of the magnets. Moreover, the higher permeability of the magnets indicates the less Hcb, giving rise to lower magnetic induction peak （Bz）′max： Finally, it should be noted that the magnetic orientation deviation angle θ（／15°） of permanent magnets has little effect on the focusing magnetic field of the PPM system at different temperatures and the temperature stability. The obtained results are beneficial to the design and selection of permanent magnets for PPM focusing system.

Natural Convection of Temperature-Sensitive Magnetic Fluids in Porous Media

In this article,natural convection of a temperature-sensitive magnetic fluid in a porous media is studied numerically by using lattice Boltzmann method.Results show that the heat transfer decreases when the ball numbers increase.When the magnetic field is increased,the heat transfer is enhanced;however the average wall Nusselt number increases at small ball numbers but decreases at large ball numbers due to the induced flow being more likely confined near the bottom walls with a high number of obstacles.

Refrigeration effect of La(FeCoSi)_(13)B_(0.25) compounds and gadolinium metal in reciprocating magnetic refrigerator

The LaFe11.9–x Cox Si1.1 B0.25 with x=0.9 and x=0.82 compounds were synthesized from commercial purity raw materials.The magnetic property of LaFe11.9–x Cox Si1.1 B0.25 and Gd particles were tested on the reciprocating refrigerator at the same condition in order to compare the cooling capacity of the two materials.The results showed that the cooling velocity of Gd was obviously higher than that of LaFe11.9–x Cox Si1.1 B0.25.The maximum temperature span was 12.7 oC for LaFe11.0 Co0.9 Si1.1 B0.25,14.9 oC for Gd metal whose mass is the same as that of LaFe11.0 Co0.9 Si1.1 B0.25,8.1 oC for Gd metal whose volume is the same as that of LaFe11.0 Co0.9 Si1.1 B0.25.Series connection of LaFe11.0 Co0.9 Si1.1 B0.25 and LaFe11.08 Co0.82 Si1.1 B0.25 had the maximum cooling temperature span of 15.3 oC.

Effect of proportion change of aluminum and silicon on magnetic entropy change and magnetic properties in La0.8Ce0.2Fe11.5Al1.5-xSix compounds

The microstructure, magnetic entropy changes, hysteresis and magnetic properties of La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（1.5–x）Si_x（x=0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7） compounds were studied by X-ray diffraction（XRD） and a superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer（SQUID）. The results showed that all the compounds presented cubic Na Zn13-type structure. Their Curie temperatures changed complicatedly with decreasing Al content due to changes of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interaction. Under a field change from 0 to 2 T, the maximum magnetic entropy change for La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（1.1）Si_（0.4）, La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（1.0）Si_（0.5）, La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（0.9）Si_（0.6） and La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（0.8）Si_（0.7） were found to be –9.6, –4.8, –5.8 and –11.7 J/（kg·K）, respectively. Moreover, their hysteresis losses were 1.13 J/（kg·K） or less. The large magnetic entropy changed and small hysteresis losses made them potential candidates for practical magnetic refrigeration application.

Magnetic Properties and Thermal Stability of Sintered Nd-Fe-B Magnet with Dy-Ni Additive

A sintered（Nd_（0.8）Pr_（0.2））_（30.7）FebalB_（0.98）Cu_（0.2） magnet with 3% intergranular Dy_（85）Ni_（15） additive is prepared to study the magnetic properties and thermal stability of the Nd-Fe-B magnet. The results show that the magnet with or without additive obtains its optimum comprehensive magnetic properties at the sintering temperature of 1 030 ℃ and 1 040 ℃, respectively. The maximum coercivity of the magnet with additive reaches 15.16 k Oe, while that of the magnet without additive is just 11.88 k Oe. Further investigation on microstructure indicates that the grains of the magnet with additive form a modified ＂core shell＂ structure. Adding Dy_（85）Ni_（15） can significantly enhance the coercivity of Nd-Fe-B magnet and thus decrease its coercivity temperature coefficient.

Influence of partial substitution of cerium for lanthanum on magnetocaloric properties of La_(1–x)Ce_xFe_(11.44)Si_(1.56) and their hydrides

The structure and magnetocaloric properties of La1–xCexFe11.44Si1.56 and their hydrides La1–xCexFe11.44Si1.56Hy（x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4） were investigated.The samples crystallized mainly in the cubic Na Zn13-type structure with a small amount of α-Fe phase as impurity.The lattice constants and Curie temperature presented the same change tendency with increasing of Ce content.For the hydrides, the influence of Ce content on lattice constants was weakened and the values of H concentration y were approximate to be 1.56.The La1–xCexFe11.44Si1.56 compounds exhibited large values of isothermal entropy change –ΔSm around the Curie temperature TC under a low magnetic field change of 1.5 T.The value of –ΔSm increased and then decreased with increasing Ce content, reached the maximum, 26.07 J/kg·K for x=0.3.TC increased up to the vicinity of room temperature by hydrogen absorption for the Ce substituted compounds, but TC only slightly decreased with increasing Ce content.The first-order metamagnetic transition was still kept in the hydrides and the maximum values of –ΔSm were lower than those of the La1–xCexFe11.44Si1.56 compounds, but still remained large values, about 10.5 J/kg K under a magnetic field change of 1.5 T.The values of –ΔSm were nearly independent of the Ce content and did not increase with increasing x for the hydrides.The La1–xCexFe11.44Si1.56Hy（x=0–0.4） hydrides exhibited large magnetic entropy changes, small hysteresis loss and effective refrigerant capacity covered the room temperature range from 305 to 317 K.These hydrides are very useful for the magnetic refrigeration applications near room temperature under low magnetic field change.

Magnetic properties and magnetic exchange interactions in Gd_(1–x)RE_x(RE=Pr,Nd) alloys

The effect of Pr,Nd addition on the magnetic properties and magnetic exchange interaction of gadolinium alloys was systematically studied.Curie temperature TC and magnetic moment of Gd（1–x）REx（RE=Pr,Nd）systems with x〈0.05 were investigated.When x〈0.05,Pr and Nd formed respectively with Gd continuous solid solution which has the crystalline structure HCP.Study on the magnetic behavior indicated that at near room temperature,the simple ferromagnetism prevailed in these two systems of alloy.The Curie temperature and magnetic moment of Gd（1–x）REx alloy decreased with RE（RE= Pr,Nd）content x increasing.The de Gennes factor of Gd（1–x）REx alloy which was associated with the exchange interaction between magnetic spin components also decreased with RE content increasing.The above results showed that the magnetic exchange interaction between magnetic atoms in gadolinium could be effectively changed by the Pr,Nd addition.

Survival of charged ρ condensation at high temperature and density

The charged vector ρ mesons in the presence of external magnetic fields at finite temperature T and chemical potential μ have been investigated in the framework of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model.We compute the masses of charged ρ mesons numerically as a function of the magnetic field for different values of temperature and chemical potential.The self-energy of the ρ meson contains the quark-loop contribution,i.e.the leading order contribution in 1/NC expansion.The charged ρ meson mass decreases with the magnetic field and drops to zero at a critical magnetic field eBc,which indicates that the charged vector meson condensation,i.e.the electromagnetic superconductor can be induced above the critical magnetic field.Surprisingly,it is found that the charged ρ condensation can even survive at high temperature and density.At zero temperature,the critical magnetic field just increases slightly with the chemical potential,which indicates that charged ρ condensation might occur inside compact stars.At zero density,in the temperature range 0.2 — 0.5 GeV,the critical magnetic field for charged ρ condensation is in the range of 0.2 — 0.6 GeV^2,which indicates that a high temperature electromagnetic superconductor might be created at LHC.

Annealing effect on structural and magnetic properties of Tb and Cr co-implanted AIGaN

Unintentionally doped AIGaN layers, which were co.implanted with 400 keV Tb＋ ions and 200keV Cr＋ ions at doses of 1.5×1015cm-2, have been rapid thermally annealed at 800℃ and 900℃ for 5 min in flowing N2, Compared with Tb implanted AIGaN sample, the Tb and Cr co-implanted sample revesls a larger magnetic signal. In this work, the annealing effect on the structural and magnetic properties of Tb and Cr co-implanted AIGaN thin films have been studied. XRD and raman scattering results indicate that no second phase presents in thetin films and mast of the implantation induced defects can be removed by post-implantation annealing. Superconducting quantum interference device （SQUID） measurements show clear room temperature ferromagnetic behavior and an increase in the saturation magnetization as a result of annealing. The saturation magnetization of the 900℃ annealed sample is about 15 times higher than that of the 800℃ annealed sample.

Mass production of magnetocaloric LaFeMnSiB alloys with hydrogenation

LaFe_（11.39）Mn_（0.35）Si_（1.26）B_（0.1）Hxalloys were prepared by hydrogenation.Samples were annealed at 1343Kfor30-90 hto form the NaZn13 phase.La-rich andα-Fe secondary phases were also detected.Saturated hydrogenation at 553 Kand 0.15 MPa of H_2 pressure for 5hwas employed to improve the Curie temperature of the alloys to 279 K.The maximum magnetic entropy change,relative cooling power,and adiabatic temperature change of LaFe_（11.39）Mn_（0.35）Si_（1.26）B_（0.1）H_x annealed at 1343 Kfor 90hafter hydrogen absorption are 6.38J/（kg·K）（magnetic changesμ0ΔH =1.65T）,100.1J/kg（μ0ΔH =1.65T）,and 2.2 K（μ0ΔH =1.48T）,respectively.Although the maximum magnetic entropy change of the LaFe_（11.39）Mn_（0.35）Si_（1.26）B_（0.1）H_x alloys is lower than those of similar alloys with high purity raw materials,the relative cooling power is nearly the same.The effect of impurities of the raw materials used was also discussed.It is assumed that the impurity of 0.2wt.% Al is responsible for the reduced entropy change of the resulted alloys.The LaFe_（11.39）Mn_（0.35）Si_（1.26）B_（0.1）H_x alloys prepared by this method could be a low cost alternative material for room temperature magnetic cooling applications.
