The switching characteristics and the magnetization-flop behavior in magnetic tunnel junctions exchange biased by synthetic antiferromagnets (SyAFs) are investigated by using a computer simulations based on a single-domain multilayer model. The bias field acting on the free layer is found to be sensitive to the thickness of neighboring layers, and the thickness dependence of the bias field is greater at smaller cell dimensions due to larger magnetostatic interactions. The resistance to magnetization flop increases with decreasing cell size due to increased shape anisotropy. When the cell dimensions are small and the synthetic antiferromagnet is weakly, or not pinned, the magnetization directions of the two layers sandwiching the insulating layer are aligned antiparallel due to a strong magnetostatic interaction, resulting in an abnormal magneto resistance (MR) change from the high-MR state to zero, irrespective of the direction of the free-layer switching. The threshold field for magnetization-flop is found to increase linearly with increasing antiferromagnetic exchange coupling in the synthetic antiferromagnet. Irrespective of the magnetic parameters and cell sizes, magnetization flop does not exist near zero applied field, indicating that magnetization flop is driven by the Zeeman energy.

This paper deals with the characteristics analysis of Interior Permanent Magnet Type Motor varying with magnetization curve of electrical steel interpolated with several method in the high field region. The data of magnetization curve of electrical steel given by the steel maker is not enough in order to analysis the characteristics by menas of FEM. Especially, the core in the bridge part have a severe saturation because the bridge width is narrow to reduce the flux leakage produced by the permanent magnet. This paper make the three kinds of magnetization curve by extrapolation and then the motor is analyzed by using these magnetization curve. The motor parameters are compared to explain the effects of magnetization curve.

Multi-stacked HTS tapes are needed to conduct large current in the power application. In this paper, magnetization losses of the multi-stacked YBCO coated conductor and the BSCCO tape have been measured and compared. Magnetization losses of single tape, 2-stacked, 3-stacked and 4-stacked HTS tapes have been presented in this paper. Multi-stacked tapes have been fabricated using face-to-face type stacking method. Measurements of magnetization loss were performed under various angle of external magnetic field to consider the anisotropic characteristics of HTS tapes. Test results show that loss density per unit volume decreased for both YBCO coated conductors and BSCCO tapes when the stacking number of tapes is increased. The magnetization losses of YBCO CC are larger than those of BSCCO tapes when the external magnetic field is increased.

In this paper, the magnetization characteristics and the stored energy of magnetically coupled superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL)s using single and double high-Tc superconducting (HTSC) elements were compared. To analyze the magnetization characteristics and the stored energy, the magnetizing current and the flux linkage, which were derived from the electrical equivalent circuit of the SFCL using single and double HTSC elements, were calculated from the voltages and the current measured in the short-circuit tests. Through the comparative analysis on the magnetization characteristics and the stored energy for SFCL using sing and double HTSC elements, the magnetically coupled SFCL using double HTSC elements was shown to be more effective than the SFCL using single HTSC element from the point of view of the magnetic saturation.

This paper deals with the characteristics evaluations of PM magnetization using stator coil in a Post-Assembly Line Start Permanent Magnet Motor (LSPMM) using a coupled Finite Element Method (FEM) and Preisach modeling, which is presented to analyze the magnetic characteristics of permanent magnets. The focus of this paper is the characteristics analysis relative to magnetizing direction and quantity of permanent magnets due to the eddy current occurring in the rotor bar during magnetization of Nd-Fe-B.

Recently, it is proposed to make striations on the YBCO coated conductor and to transpose each other as one of the solutions to decrease the perpendicular magnetization loss. For large power application using HTS, the stacked conductor packing the YBCO coated conductors should be used because single conductor is limited in flowing of demanded large current. In this paper, we research the affect of the striation and continuously transposed stacking geometry on the magnetization loss in perpendicularly exposed magnetic field. Several short samples having different number of striation and continuously transposed stack are prepared and tested in perpendicularly exposed magnetic field for the magnetization loss characteristics. The magnetization loss of striated sample was lower than sample without striation. The reduction effect on magnetization loss by the striation is obviously appeared in higher field and lower number of stack and decreased as increasing the transposed stacking number. Also, the reduction effect by transposed stack is obviously appeared in lower field at lower number of striation and isn't appeared at higher striation number and higher magnetic field.

In many cases, ferrite magnets of ferrite bonded magnets used in inner-rotor type small brushless DC(BLDC) motors do not have rotor core. The magnetization directions of permanent magnets do not have only parallel or radial direction. In this case, the characteristics of magnets are different from cored type ones which have uniform magnetization direction. In this paper, the magnetization directions and intensities of a ferrite magnet and a ferrite bonded magnet are analyzed by finite element analysis for magnetization procedure. The characteristics of inner-rotor type BLDC motor are analyzed by using the analyzed results. The validity of the method is verified by comparing the analyzed results with measured ones.

Superconductors are dissipative when exposed to time-varying magnetic fields. To analyze the AC characteristics of a superconductor, one usually needs to know magnetization curves of it. Good magnetization curves can be obtained only in homogeneous magnetic filed. In This paper, we report the setup and test results of a magnetization measurement system, which consists mainly of frequency-variable power supply and homeogenous magnet with 7-cm long air gap. Special emphasis are foused on the design and fabrication of the magnet, which aims to give background magnetic fields, and on the overall characteristics of the system.

Magnetization loss of high temperature superconductoring BSCCO tape and YBCO coated conductor(YBCOCC) is most important issue in the development of superconducting power devices. In this paper, the measured results of magnetization losses under various angles of external magnetic field in BSCCO tape stacked conductors and YBCO CC stacked conductors are presented and compared with each other. Also, we present the compared results of magnetization losses measured at arbitrary reaction magnetic fields and analyzed with perpendicular magnetic field components of those. The results show that magnetization losses of YBCO CC single and stacked conductors agree well with the analyzed value by it's perpendicular magnetic field component, but BSCCO single and stacked conductors are not.

Magnetization property is a critical factor for magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) to achieve the liquid-solid transition. The main focus of this study is on exploring the influence factors on magnetization properties of MRFs. In this paper, a theoretical analysis is performed to discuss the magnetization characteristics of MRFs firstly. Then, a method for the preparation of carbonyl iron-based MRFs is illustrated and five MRFs samples with various material parameters are prepared. It is succeeded by a series of experiments on testing the hysteresis loop and the magnetization curve of each sample and the influence factors are compared and analyzed. Experimental results indicate that there is basically no hysteresis phenomenon on MRFs which exhibits superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature. A surfactant coating on magnetic particles can slightly improve the MRFs magnetization. Additionally, the magnetic susceptibility and the saturation magnetization both increase with the particle concentration, whereas the influence of particle diameter is relatively very small. Moreover, as the temperature increases, the magnetization decreases and the declining rate accelerates gradually.
