Control of a polar order via magnetic field in a vector-chiral magnet

Helmuth Berger

Vector-chiral (VC) antiferromagnetism is a spiral-like ordering of spins which may allow ferroelectricity to occur due to loss of space inversion symmetry. In this Letter we report direct experimental observation of ferroelectricity in the VC phase of beta ...

Ring magnets for magnetic beads trapping in a capillary

Hubert Girault, Anne-Laure Gassner

This paper introduces the concept of ring magnets for magnetic beads (MBs) trapping in a capillary. Such magnets enable an easy insertion of a capillary simply like a pearl on a string. With this system, high magnetic forces are obtained thanks to the prox ...

Design of Magnetic Switchable Device (MSD) and applications in climbing robot

Francesco Mondada, Hannes Bleuler, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Frédéric Rochat, Patrick Schoeneich

A Magnetic Switchable Device (MSD) is a ferromagnetic circuit using permanent magnets where the flux can circulate between different paths when its configuration is changed. This routes or cancels the flux through specific surfaces, and thus turns on or of ...

PM motor sensorless position detection based on iron B-H local hysteresis

Yves Perriard, Miroslav Markovic, Omar Scaglione

A sensorless position detection technique for a permanent magnet (PM) motor with non-salient rotor is presented. It is shown that the phase self inductances and resistances measured at higher frequencies vary slightly with the rotor position. The origin of ...

Magnetic forces produced by rectangular permanent magnets in static microsystems

Hubert Girault, Joël Stéphane Rossier, Anne-Laure Gassner, Mélanie Abonnenc

Finite element numerical simulations were carried out in 2D geometries to map the magnetic field and force distribution produced by rectangular permanent magnets as a function of their size and position with respect to a microchannel. A single magnet, two ...

A New Standstill Position Detection Technique for Nonsalient Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Motors Using the Magnetic Anisotropy Method

Yves Perriard, Miroslav Markovic, Jan Persson

This paper describes a new method to estimate the standstill position of permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). The method is based on the anisotropic properties of permanent magnets and is therefore referred to as a magnetic anisotropy method (MAM). ...
