Numerical analysis is performed to compare the spectral characteristics of the planar converter with predictions of mechanical and electrodynamic coupled-oscillator models. A nonmonotonic dependence of the effective coupling strength on the input microwave power is revealed: the coupling increases with power up to a nonlinear threshold and subsequently decreases due to energy redistribution between interacting modes. The obtained results are relevant for the optimization and power-based tuning of photon–magnon devices, hybrid microwave systems, and magnonic components.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"62 8","pages":"4000908-4000908"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148627617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The architecture leverages ultralow energy consumption and fast switching characteristics of VCMA-magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) to perform logic operations directly within the memory array through a voltage division mechanism. We develop a reconfigurable logic primitive design that enables multiple logic functions—such as <sc>not</small>, <sc>nand</small>, <sc>, and minority (MIN)—simply by adjusting bias voltages. Building upon these fundamental units, we construct multiplexers, subtractors, and exact/approximate dividers, compactly mapped into the memory array. Simulation results demonstrate that, for a 4 KB MRAM implemented in NCSU FreePDK45 45 nm CMOS process, the proposed architecture can achieve a peak throughput of 512 GOPS and a corresponding energy efficiency of 99.853 TOPS/W. The proposed 8 bit subtractor achieves 43.85% area reduction and 53.66% latency reduction compared to the state-of-the-art approach. The 16/8 bit divider occupies 288 cells, with a latency of 214 cycles, while the approximate divider achieves over 52.39% area reduction and 66.39% latency reduction, maintaining excellent performance in application-level tasks such as image background cancellation. This IMC architecture demonstrates significant potential for enabling resource-optimized operations in edge computing and embedded systems.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"62 8","pages":"3400610-3400610"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148626094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is critical to evaluate the full range of forces that may act on UMDs during operation. This article introduces a novel method for estimating the upper and lower bounds of the maximal magnetic gradient force acting on UMDs under the influence of two synchronized rotating magnetic dipoles. This study investigates the characteristics of the magnetic gradient force generated by a single rotating dipole and by two synchronized rotating dipoles. The results demonstrate that two synchronized dipoles are more likely to produce an approximately gradient-free region than a single dipole. Within this gradient-free region, the synchronized dipoles were robotically controlled to navigate a UMD inside an agar gel phantom. Closed-loop motion control experiments revealed that the maximum tracking error of a helical UMD actuated by two robotically controlled synchronized rotating dipoles was 3.89 mm.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"62 8","pages":"4000810-4000810"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148626781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Magnetic behavior was assessed from B(H) hysteresis loops measured along directions parallel (BP) and transverse (BT) to the orientation axis. From these measurements, remanence, coercivity, and loop squareness were analyzed as a function of crystallographic texture and microstructural evolution. Microstructural characterization was performed using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the mean grain size was determined by image analysis. The results show that increasing thermal budget promotes grain growth and is associated with a reduction in coercivity, consistent with the decrease of effective microstructural barriers to magnetization reversal. As a methodological contribution, a comparative BP/BT loop-alignment procedure is proposed by imposing a common saturation reference and introducing an effective-field correction factor in the transverse direction. This procedure improves the interpretation of directional hysteresis data by separating geometric and effective-field effects from intrinsic magnetic hardness. In addition, this article discusses the applicability and limitations of the Stoner–Wohlfarth framework for real polycrystalline ferrites. Although the model captures the main qualitative trends, quantitative discrepancies remain because real materials exhibit intergranular interactions, local heterogeneities, and nonideal texture distributions. Overall, the results provide a consistent processing–structure–property interpretation for oriented hard ferrite magnets.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"62 8","pages":"2100512-2100512"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148627644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algorithm introduces a dual-indicator state evaluation, incorporating a stagnation factor and population aggregation degree to accurately detect when the swarm is trapped in local optima. Upon detection, a dynamic reinitialization operation is triggered to guide particles toward unvisited regions, effectively mitigating the premature convergence typical of standard PSO. A weighted composite fitness function is employed to collaboratively optimize gradient strength and field uniformity while adhering to physical constraints on coil volume and power consumption. Validation using CEC2017 benchmark functions demonstrates the superior search robustness and stability of the proposed method. When applied to a combined coil structure, the DIDR-PSO algorithm increased the average gradient strength from 0.85 to 1.18 T/m and reduced gradient non-uniformity from 15.73% to 10.33%. The simulation results indicate that these enhancements improved the reconstruction accuracy for vessel position and radius by 4.40% and 2.08%, respectively.
