To solve this issue, this letter presents a crack identification and location method based on dual-reception magnetic encoded spatial pulse compression technology. On the one hand, the method implements spatial pulse compression technology by adjusting the spatial distribution of the magnetic field to obtain a high amplitude and narrow pulse detection signal. On the other hand, this method multiplexes the excitation EMAT as a receiver through signal processing technology, so that the position of cracks can be more accurately judged by analyzing the signals of the dual EMATs. Most importantly, this method does not require additional EMAT and complex excitation equipment. Finally, a simulation model was built to verify the method. The simulation results show, that compared with the detection signal of the traditional method, the SNR is improved by over 1.1 dB, and the spatial resolution is improved by over 18%. Additionally, the method can effectively distinguish the crack defects on both sides of EMATs, and the localization accuracy exceeds 95%.","PeriodicalId":13040,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Magnetics Letters","volume":"14 ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67762114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of the deep brain TMS coil for stimulating subcortical structures expands the use of TMS beyond the stimulation of superficial cortical targets. Deep brain stimulation may have beneficial effects on neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, post-traumatic stress disorder, and mild traumatic brain injury. Previous studies have shown that the cerebellum plays a very big role in behavior and motor planning. To stimulate the specific areas of the human brain, we require a TMS coil with precise focal abilities because the material, design, and position of a TMS coil play a significant role in adjusting the coil's focusing power. Therefore, we studied stimulation of the frontal brain and cerebellum with two different new coil designs positioned on different locations. A rare design of the TMS coil made with Litz wire was developed to enhance excitation focality in the brain and was compared with a traditional figure-of-eight (FOE) coil and double-cone coil. The finite-element simulation tool ANSYS Maxwell 3-D has been used to simulate and compare the magnetic field and electric field induced inside the model of the human brain. The coil studies are as follows: a FOE coil, an overlapped copper coil, and a Litz wire overlapped coil. This was followed by experimental validation which shows great agreement with the simulation results.","PeriodicalId":13040,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Magnetics Letters","volume":"14 ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67762070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conventional spin-transfer torque (STT)-MRAM or SOT-MRAM is limited by the unipolar (or bipolar) switching property and demands the utilization of a common channel with bidirectional write current, which not only brings about source degradation of the access transistor but also increases the energy consumption in the write operation. By introducing a Schottky diode, the 1T1D1SOT-MRAM cell based on ultrafast switching of multiple modes outperforms conventional MRAMs in terms of decoupling of current channels in different directions and high-density integration.

A soft constraint module and a hard constraint module, composed of physical equations, are constructed. The soft constraints are then integrated into the neural network's objective function, while the hard constraint module is utilized to predict device performance and physical field. Stochastic gradient descent is used to minimize the residual of the physical equations during PISNN training.

The numerical model of the neuron device is established based on the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation.
