  • The geomagnetic activity shows the semiannual variation stronger in vernal and autumnal equinoxes than in summer and winter solstices. The semiannual variation has been explained by three main hypotheses such as Axial hypothesis, Equinoctial hypothesis, and Russell-McPherron Effect. Many studies using the various geomagnetic indices have done to support three main hypotheses. In recent, Oh & Yi (2011) examined the solar magnetic polarity dependency of the geomagnetic storm occurrence defined by Dst index. They reported that there is no dependency of the semiannual variation on the sign of the solar polar fields. This study examines the solar magnetic polarity dependency of quiet time geomagnetic activity. Using Dxt index (Karinen & Mursula 2005) and Dcx index (Mursula & Karinen 2005) which are recently suggested, in addition to Dst index, we analyze the data of three-year at each solar minimum for eight solar cycles since 1932. As a result, the geomagnetic activity is stronger in the period that the solar magnetic polarity is anti-parallel with the Earth's magnetic polarity. There exists the difference between vernal and autumnal equinoxes regarding the solar magnetic polarity dependency. However, the difference is not statistically significant. Thus, we conclude that there is no solar magnetic polarity dependency of the semiannual variation for quiet time geomagnetic activity.

  • This paper describes the steering control and geomagnetism cancellation for an autonomous vehicle using an MR sensor. The magneto-resistive (MR) sensor obtains the vector summation of the magnetic fields from embedded magnets and the Earth. The vehicle is controlled by the magnetic fields from embedded magnets. So, geomagnetism is the disturbance in the steering control system. In this paper, we propose a new method of the sensor arrangement in order to remove the geomagnetism and vehicle body interference. The proposed method uses two MR sensors located in a level plane and the steering controller has been developed. The controller has three input variables ($dB_x$, $dB_y$, $dB_z$) using the measured magnetic field difference, and an output variable (the steering angle). A simulation program was developed to acquire the data to teach the neural network, in order to test the ability of a neural network to learn the steering control process. Also, the computer simulation of the vehicle (including vehicle dynamics and steering) was used to verify the steering performance of the vehicle controller using the neural network. From the simulation and field test, good result was obtained and we confirmed the robustness of the neural network controller in a real autonomous vehicle.

  • 본 논문은 자기장을 이용한 자율주행 전기자동차의 조향 제어에 대한 연구이다. 도로의 중앙에 일정 간격으로 영구자석을 설치하고 차량에 자기 센서를 장착하여 차량의 이동에 따른 자기장의 변화를 측정하여 조향 제어가 되도록 하였다. 단일 자석에 의한 자계 분포로부터 일정한 간격으로 나열된 영구자석에 의한 자계를 분석하였고, 이를 이용하여 자석에 의한 직선 및 곡선 도로를 만들어 주행 시뮬레이션을 하였다. 차량의 조향 제어를 위해 신경회로망을 이용하여 제어기를 구성하고, 자석을 설치하여 만든 실험도의에서 실제 제작한 전기자동차를 이용하여 주행 실험을 하였다. 실제 주행 실험에서 차체와 외부 지자기에 의한 영향을 보상하여 제안된 방법에 의한 자율 주행 차량의 자율 주행이 가능함을 확인하였다.

  • 이 연구에서는 최근에 개발되어 적용성에 대한 시험이 진행되고 있는 $1\;kHz\~1\;MHz$ 주파수대역의 수평 자기쌍극자를 송신원으로 하여 전기장과 자기장을 측정하는 탐사법의 모델링 알고리듬을 개발하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 공간주파수 영역에서 수평 자기쌍극자를 송신원으로 하는 이차장 Maxwell 방정식을 구성하고 유한요소법을 이용하여 2.5차원 모델링 알고리듬을 구현하였다. 또한, 검증된 층서구조 반응결과와 비교하여 그 정확도를 검증하였다. 개발된 알고리듬을 이용하여 균질 반무한공간 내에 전도성 및 비전도성 고립이상체가 존재하는 2차원 모형에 대한 전기장, 자기장과 임피던스를 계산하였다. 계산된 전기장, 자기장과 임피던스의 거동에 대한 고찰 결과 고립이상체와 같이 2차원 구조에서 전기장과 임피던스가 자기장에 비해 이상체의 탐지에 효과적임을 보였다. 특히, 전기장을 자기장으로 나눈 값인 임피던스는 전기장의 공간 분해능을 가지면서 보다 안정된 결과를 보여 주었다. 따라서 자기장만을 측정하는 기존의 전자탐사법에 비해 전기장과 자기장을 모두 측정하는 탐사법이 천부에 존재하는 이상체의 탐지에 보다 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

  • In this paper, we calculate the magnetic field and analyze the inductive interference in conductive material around power transmission line. To compute induced eddy currents as well as magnetic fields, finite element method(FEM) is used for numerical calculation. The characteristics, transmission line height, conductive earth and mitigation wire are taken account of FEM analysis. This research also shows that mitigation wire reduces amount of eddy current in buried pipe line.

  • Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is the measurement of the magnetic fields produced by electrical activity in the brain, usually conducted externally, using extremely sensitive devices such as Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID). MEG needs complex and expensive measurement settings. Because the magnetic signals emitted by the brain are on the order of a few femtoteslas (1 fT = 10-15T), shielding from external magnetic signals, including the Earth's magnetic field, is necessary. An appropriate magnetically shielded room is very expensive, and constitutes the bulk of the expense of an MEG system. MEG is a relatively new technique that promises good spatial resolution and extremely high temporal resolution, thus complementing other brain activity measurement techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG), positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). MEG combines functional information from magnetic field recordings with structural information from MRI. The clinical uses of MEG are in detecting and localizing epileptic form spiking activity in patients with epilepsy, and in localizing eloquent cortex for surgical planning in patients with brain tumors. Magnetoencephalography may be used alone or together with electroencephalography, for the measurement of spontaneous or evoked activity, and for research or clinical purposes.

  • [ $^{11}B$ ] nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements were performed on the single crystals of $TbB_4$ to investigate local electronic structure and 4f spin dynamics. $^{11}B$ NMR spectrum, Knight shift, spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation rates were measured down to 4K at 8T. $^{11}B$ NMR shift and linewidth are huge and strongly temperature dependent due to the 4f moments. In addition, both are proportional to magnetic susceptibility, indicating that the hyperfine field at the boron site originates from the 4f spins of Tb. Below $T_N$, the single broad resonance peak of $^{11}B$ NMR splits into several peaks reflecting the local magnetic fields due to antiferromagnetic spin arrangements. The longitudinal and the transverse relaxation rates, $1/T_1\;and\;1/T_2$, independent of temperature above $T_N$, decreases tremendously confirming huge suppression of spin fluctuation below $T_N$.

  • 자성 재료는 전기적 에너지와 기계적 에너지간 상호 전환 가능한 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 발전 및 모터 분야 등에 널리 적용되고 있다. 그 중에서도 모터 분야의 효율성 향상을 위해서 외부의 자장 없이도 지속적으로 자성 특성을 나타내는 영구 자석은 그 활용도가 매우 높다. 특히, 영구 자석은 최대 자기적이 높은 희토류 자석이 개발된 후 이를 중심으로 개발 및 응용분야가 지속적으로 확대되었다. 그러나, 최근 모터의 용도가 확대되는 추이에 따라서 회토류 자석의 사용이 증대됨에 따라서 희토류 원자재 수급 문제에 봉착하여 이를 해결하기 위해 희토류 저감 및 대체 자석에 대한 연구 분야가 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 본 보고서에서는 현재 사용 되고 있는 영구 자석에 대해 설명하고 이를 대체할 수 있는 기술 중 가능성이 높은 방법으로써 exchange-coupling 현상을 이용한 영구 자석 개발 기술에 대해 기술하고자 한다.

  • Recent observations of galaxy clusters in radio and X-ray indicate that cosmic rays and magnetic fields may be energetically important in the intracluster medium. According to the estimates based on theses observational studies, the combined pressure of these two components of the intracluster medium may range between $10\%{\~}100\%$ of gas pressure, although their total energy is probably time dependent. Hence, these non-thermal components may have influenced the formation and evolution of cosmic structures, and may provide unique and vital diagnostic information through various radiations emitted via their interactions with surrounding matter and cosmic background photons. We suggest that shock waves associated with cosmic structures, along with individual sources such as active galactic nuclei and radio galaxies, supply the cosmic rays and magnetic fields to the intracluster medium and to surrounding large scale structures. In order to study 1) the properties of cosmic shock waves emerging during the large scale structure formation of the universe, and 2) the dynamical influence of cosmic rays, which were ejected by AGN-like sources into the intracluster medium, on structure formation, we have performed two sets of N-body /hydrodynamic simulations of cosmic structure formation. In this contribution, we report the preliminary results of these simulations.
