We expose the past and present state-of-the-art of Micro-ElectroMechanical System (MEMS) inductors. Starting from the basic inductor equations, we discuss the various material and frequency-dependent loss mechanisms that contribute to a decreasing quality ...

This thesis presents a study on the development of microfabricated fluxgate type magnetic sensors operating within a wide linear operation range. Fluxgate type magnetic sensors are powerful devices due to their high sensitivity, low offset, and high temper ...
Energetic particle physics is studied in Alcator C-Mod in reactor relevant regimes with high density and equilibrated electron and ion temperatures. Stable Alfven eigenmodes are excited with low-power active magnetohydrodynamic antennas in the absence of a ...
This thesis is motivated by one of the largest markets: aviation. This market, in which competition and investments are extraordinary, requires constant technical improvements in order to increase its competitiveness. Jet engines have an important influenc ...
The control of the current, position and shape of an elongated cross-section tokamak plasma is complicated by the so-called instability of the current vertical position. Linearized models all share the feature of a single unstable eigenmode, attributable t ...
