Door seams, by disrupting the magnetic circuit, significantly impair the shielding performance inside an MSR. However, there is currently insufficient research on structural refinements for door seam design. To improve the shielding factor (SF) of door seam structures in an MSR against magnetic fields across biomagnetic frequency bands (0.1 Hz–10 kHz), this article focuses particularly on the geometric shape of door seam corners and the progressive space between each layer of door seams. A 3-D finite element model was established and optimized using COMSOL Multiphysics. Using SF analysis and magnetic field contours, the curvature and gap of door seam corners were optimized, determining the optimal corner radius range (1.6–2.2 mm) and the best distance for the internal seam (2.0–2.4 mm). Simulation results showed that both the saturation radius of rounded corners and the optimal distance of the internal seam significantly enhanced shielding performance, improving SF by 2–4 dB across biomagnetic frequency bands (0.1 Hz–10 kHz). Experimental results demonstrated high agreement with the simulation, validating that these optimizations can create a reduced-noise environment for biomagnetic measurements and facilitate the measurement of lower-amplitude biomagnetic signals.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"62 4","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147620966","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}

Fe–Co alloys with 5–20 at.% Co were fabricated through vacuum melting, cold rolling, and controlled annealing, followed by magnetic characterization under applied tension. The results demonstrate that iron loss can be reduced by 25%–40% depending on Co content and tensile stress level. Notably, a minimum iron loss of 14.3 W/kg was achieved in 10 at.% Co foil under 80 MPa tension. Microstructural analysis revealed that grain growth and dislocation density, governed by annealing temperature and time, significantly influence stress-induced magnetic behavior. The reduction in coercivity and iron loss is presumed to result from magnetostriction-driven domain rotation toward the tensile direction and the decrease in non-180◦ domains. In contrast, excessive stress beyond the elastic limit was found to introduce dislocations, which hinder domain wall motion and consequently increase iron loss. These findings suggest that tensile stress application is an effective strategy to enhance the magnetic performance of cost-effective Fe–Co alloys, expanding their applicability in motor, transformer, and generator cores.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"62 4","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11373104","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147620911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exact analytical calculation yielded double series expansion containing associated Legendre polynomials and it turns out to be absolutely convergent perturbation series in powers of eccentricity of primary conductor. Double series is truncated and as such is applied for calculation of mutual inductance. Seventeen test cases were constructed to examine accuracy and speed of convergence of double series. The results obtained by truncating double series coincide with the reference value of mutual inductance in at least ten significant digits for every test case. Presented test cases are divided into three groups with intention that each group reveal how variation of exactly one parameter of the eccentricity, non-uniformity of wire turns and length of primary conductor affects mutual inductance. It was observed that variation of eccentricity and length of primary conductor have significant influence on mutual inductance, while no significant effects on mutual inductance were observed due to variation of parameter describing non-uniformity of wire turns.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"62 4","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11371401","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147620969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, the interval distance between the two positioning points of the mobile platform will also affect the positioning accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the positioning algorithm by considering the above two factors. In this article, the induced magnetic field noise caused by seawater movement is modeled based on the Biot–Savart law, and an adaptive Kalman filtering method is proposed for noise suppression. In addition, based on a multi-point higher-order magnetic gradient tensor positioning method, the influence of the interval distance between measurement points on the method’s performance is analyzed. An optimized positioning method is proposed. The results show that when the distance between the positioning points satisfies a specific geometric relationship, the optimal multi-point positioning effect can be achieved. The proposed methods can significantly improve the positioning accuracy of the underwater magnetic gradient tensor system in complex marine environments. This optimization method provides a theoretical basis for enhancing the reliability and accuracy of underwater positioning systems in dynamic marine environments and offers technical support for practical applications such as deep-sea exploration and autonomous underwater vehicle navigation.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"62 4","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147620982","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}

From these experiments, information about changes in axial magnetic flux is obtained, i.e., about wall position shifting as a function of the applied magnetic field parameters, as well as about the dynamic characteristics of wall oscillation motion. Wall oscillations caused by an alternating magnetic field lead to the displacement of the wall along the sample wire.

However, optical data storage devices exposed to real-world conditions frequently experience random and burst errors. Damage to the same region of the medium causes more bit errors, and crosstalk between data increases as a single disk’s storage capacity rises. Error correction codes (ECCs) have to fulfill greater requirements due to the increased raw bit error rate. In this article, we optimize the traditional error correction scheme using a multilevel coding method, proposing multilevel Picket codes (MLPCs). First, we introduce an improved multilevel ECC (iMLECC), which allows different component codes of Picket codes to share redundancy, thereby improving overall error correction capability. For random errors, the iMLECC reduces the symbol error rate of user data by five to eight orders of magnitude and that of control data by 5–20 orders of magnitude while achieving a higher code rate. We also propose a tag-based decoding optimization scheme that reduces unnecessary multilevel decoding iterations. Compared to traditional multilevel decoding algorithms, the proposed scheme reduces decoding latency by approximately 40%. Furthermore, addressing the channel characteristic of burst errors in optical disk storage, we leverage the shared redundancy of multilevel coding to strengthen the burst error detection capability of conventional Picket codes. This results in an approximately 50% improvement in the identification rate for long burst errors. According to the simulation results, MLPC is a preferable option for optical ECCs since it has a more comprehensive capability.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"62 4","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147620965","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}
