Symmetrical six-phase (S6P), asymmetrical six-phase (A6P), and dual three-phase (D3P) windings are first evaluated within a unified design framework to compare torque capability, efficiency, and power density. A novel D3P winding arrangement is proposed that increases the winding factor from 0.808 to 0.933 and the phase inductance, thereby improving torque density and efficiency over conventional D3P designs. This article explicitly incorporates inverter effects into the design stage by analyzing the influence of pulse-width modulation (PWM) switching frequency and current harmonics on core loss, AC copper loss, inductance-related current ripple, and overall efficiency. The results show that increasing phase inductance suppresses PWM low-frequency current harmonics and mitigates ripple-induced loss, thus increasing motor efficiency. Furthermore, a multi-objective optimization framework combining Box–Behnken design, Krigingbased surrogate modeling, and a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) is employed to simultaneously maximize efficiency and power density while minimizing losses and motor mass. The optimized D3P motor achieves a power density of 5.21 kW/kg and an efficiency of 96.47%, outperforming the other six-phase configurations while offering enhanced fault-tolerant capability. Experimental results from a fabricated prototype validate the proposed design and analysis.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"62 10","pages":"8206106-8206106"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149249615","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}

Under these conditions, conventional series-resonant matching becomes inefficient because the limited source current cannot provide sufficient voltage gain for high-resistance loads, resulting in degraded power transfer performance. To address this limitation, a parallel-resonant impedance-matching framework is proposed. An analytical model is developed that incorporates the series quality factor and parasitic resistance to determine the optimal parallel capacitance and load resistance while accounting for resonance-frequency shifts and effective resistance transformation caused by parasitic losses. Circuit-level simulations under practical railway operating conditions verify that the proposed matching strategy significantly increases the harvested power and extends the unsaturated operating region compared with conventional series configurations. In particular, the parallel matching topology achieves higher output power and maintains stable operation over a wider load resistance range. The proposed framework provides practical design guidelines for railway magnetic field energy harvesting systems and enables accurate performance prediction and parameter optimization under realistic operating environments.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"62 10","pages":"8700206-8700206"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149249675","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}

Using magnetometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-rayreflectivity (XRR), we quantitatively correlated the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) with the seed roughness and MLtexture by fitting the XRR and defining a self-defined texture parameter, respectively. We find that, above a certain threshold,seed roughness and ML texture are correlated and increase with the seed’s thickness. Magnetically, we observe only small changesin PMA that are anticorrelated with the seed’s roughness, effectively reducing PMA at higher seed thicknesses despite improvedtexture. We propose a competition between detrimental roughness increases that reduce interfacial anisotropy and beneficial textureimprovements that increase magnetocrystalline anisotropy, which we validate by comparison to previous results.

However, parameter identification remains computationally demanding, as traditional optimization approaches require iterative fitting of individual hysteresis loops (typically 1–2 min per loop) and scale poorly to large datasets. To address this limitation, a physics-constrained convolutional neural network and Kolmogorov–Arnold network (CNN–KAN) framework is proposed for fast parameter extraction of a delay-enhanced JA model. The proposed method directly takes the excitation waveform H(t) as input and incorporates experimentally measurable hysteresis features into a multi-objective loss function to enforce physical consistency. Using measured data ranging from 300 kHz to 1MHz from a TDK N49 toroidal ferrite core for training, the model achieves accurate reconstruction of hysteresis loops and reliable prediction of JA parameters within a single forward pass. Comparative evaluations against conventional optimization-based methods and alternative neural network architectures demonstrate a substantial reduction in computation time while maintaining high modeling accuracy. These results indicate that the proposed framework offers a scalable and efficient solution for high-frequency hysteresis modeling with the delay-enhanced JA model.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"62 10","pages":"7301405-7301405"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11523595","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149249969","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}
