This paper present the Three-Level converter using IM(Integrated Magnetics) method for high power application. In power conversion system, magnetic components are important devices used for energy storage, energy transfer, galvanic isolation and filtering. The proposed Three-Level converter is to reduce the number of magnetic components using transformer integrated with output inductor. This paper proposes reluctance model base on the magnetic analysis for the Three-Level converter. Also, the secondary rectification was discussed by a single core transformer winding. A protype featuring 540[V] input, 48[V] output, 40[kHz] switching frequency, and 3[kW] output power using IGBT.

A multi-pulse GTO based voltage source converter (VSC) topology together with a fundamental frequency switching mode of gate control is a mature technology being widely used in static synchronous compensators (STATCOMs). The present practice in utility/industry is to employ a high number of pulses in the STATCOM, preferably a 48-pulse along with matching components of magnetics for dynamic reactive power compensation, voltage regulation, etc. in electrical networks. With an increase in the pulse order, need of power electronic devices and inter-facing magnetic apparatus increases multi-fold to achieve a desired operating performance. In this paper, a competitive topology with a fewer number of devices and reduced magnetics is evolved to develop an 18-pulse, 2-level $\pm$ 100MVAR STATCOM in which a GTO-VSC device is operated at fundamental frequency switching gate control. The inter-facing magnetics topology is conceptualized in two stages and with this harmonics distortion in the network is minimized to permissible IEEE-519 standard limits. This compensator is modeled, designed and simulated by a SimPowerSystems tool box in MATLAB platform and is tested for voltage regulation and power factor correction in power systems. The operating characteristics corresponding to steady state and dynamic operating conditions show an acceptable performance.

An improved single-phase full-bridge zero-voltage-switching inverter using a subtractive coupled magnetics is proposed in this paper. The proposed topology overcomes several drawbacks of the conventional ARCPI zero-voltage-switching inverter including two bulky capacitors which can cause problems such as the need for a protection circuit and voltage fluctuation of split capacitors. Also the proposed topology can reduce the number of devices required for ZVS through a simplified auxiliary circuit, thus achieving low cost and small volume and is applicable a modified unipolar PWM scheme. Detail mode analysis and design considerations are provided for optimal efficiency. In the end, the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed topology are verified experimentally under various conditions.

X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) has been used as an important tool of magnetics due to its unique abilities to measure element-specific magnetic properties and to separate the orbital and the spin magnetic moments. These abilities allow researchers to access the microscopic origin of the magnetic properties of transition metal and rare earth compounds. In this report, I explain the principle of XMCD and the experimental set-up. Recent a few research examples using XMCD will be also introduced.

To cope with the high power density and low cost in switching power supply, this paper presents a novel planar transformer, which can regulate the leakage inductance of planar transformer used for LLC resonant converter. Modeling and analysis of a novel planar transformer are discussed in detail and a prototype 200W LLC resonant converter is tested to verify.

Three successive phase transitions in bis-n-octhylammonium hexachlorostannate, $(n-C_8H_{17}NH_3)_2SnCl_6$, were studied by means of the ^1H nuclear magnetic resonance linewidth and spin-lattice relaxation measurements. Unlike the compounds with longer hydrocarbon chains, the order-disorder and conformational nature were found to coexist in the phase transitions.

Very recently, it was presented that the one dimensional (1D) CuO atomic chains can maintain large magnetic moments. In this work, we analyzed m-resolved density of states (DOS) to understand the peculiar spin polarization occurred in Cu atoms. It was found that the $\mid{m}\mid=1$ states play an essential role in the spin polarization of Cu atoms. In addition, we calculated magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) and observed that the distribution of MAE is strongly sensitive to the interatomic distance between Cu and O atoms. Besides, it was revealed that the contribution to MAE comes for the second half of Brillouin zone (BZ).

Ferrite tile absorber is of great concern for the application to anechoic chambers due to the growing demand of EMI or EMC measurements. This paper investigates the magnetic, dielectric and microwave absorbing properties of a Ni-An ferrite for the purpose. A design chart was constructed with the solutions of impedance-matching equation in the radio frequencies (30 MHz - 1 GHz). The material parameters for zero-reflection are predicted from the chart. The magnetic and dielectric properties of sintered Ni-Zn ferrite is found to be well suited for this requirements. A superior microwave absorbing properties (frequency band and absorber thickness) of the samples are demonstrated.

Very large in electrical resistivity by several orders of magnitude is obtained when an external magnetic field is applied to the colossal magnetoresistnace (CMR) materials such as La-Ca-Mn-O. The magnetoresistance is strongly temperature-dependent, and exhibits a sharp peak below room temperature, which can be shifted by adjusting the composition or processing parameters. The control of lattice geometry or strain, e.g., by chemical substitution, epitaxial growth or post-deposition anneal of thin films appears to be crucial in obtaining the CMR properties. The orders of magnitude change in electrical resistivity could be useful for various magnetic and electric device applications. .
