In such environments, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic source is distorted by demagnetizing fields induced by the magnetic shielding material, leading to degradation of estimation accuracy. To address this problem, we apply the magnetic dipole-array method (MDM), previously proposed to account for the influence of demagnetizing fields, to magnetic source localization. In addition, we design a cylindrical magnetic dipole array specifically for cylindrical magnetic shields, in contrast to the planar dipole-array configurations for rectangular magnetic shields used in our previous studies. Experiments of magnetic source localization using coils, room-temperature magnetic sensors, and a compact cylindrical magnetic shield were conducted. The results showed that the proposed method improved the estimation accuracy, reducing the average position error from 2.7 to 0.59 mm compared with conventional approaches that do not account for demagnetizing fields. This study provides a fundamental investigation under controlled experimental conditions as a basis for future application of MDM to biomagnetic measurements.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"62 10","pages":"4001205-4001205"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149250084","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}

First, the analytical expressions for electromagnetic force waves are derived theoretically, revealing the harmonic coupling mechanism and its phase relationships. Second, finite element models of both tile-shaped and sine-type permanent magnet motors are established, and a comparative analysis is performed on the harmonic characteristics of the no-load back electromotive force (back EMF) and the frequency spectrum of electromagnetic force waves. Subsequently, a vibration calculation model is constructed to clarify the differential effects of the sine-type design on the zeroth-mode vibration and the minimum nonzero mode vibration. The study shows that the sine-type design makes the electromagnetic force waves more sinusoidal, but it increases the amplitude of the second temporal harmonic of the electromagnetic force, significantly amplifies the minimum non-zero mode vibration, and makes it the dominant component of the overall motor vibration. Finally, the correctness of the theoretical analysis and simulation results is verified through experiments on four prototypes.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"62 10","pages":"8204407-8204407"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149250167","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}

In the proposed method, a VP coil generates an electric field originating from the time-varying VP, enabling electrical interaction with a liquid sample without direct electrode contact. Unlike a conventional capacitive field produced mainly by an electric potential gradient, the present field is intended to penetrate the sample region more uniformly along the bore of the transformer. To detect the sample-dependent response, two types of secondary structures were examined: a straight secondary conductor and a VP secondary coil with a nested-solenoidal structure. The straight secondary conductor was first selected because its path is parallel to the VP, which was expected to maximize the detected voltage through the line integral of the VP. However, this configuration also allows an induced-voltage component due to magnetic flux linkage with the thin primary solenoids. To suppress this magnetic coupling, a VP secondary coil was introduced. Although the VP secondary coil produced a weaker signal, it reduced magnetic coupling and enabled sample-dependent signals to be observed with less contamination from ordinary inductive pickup. Experimental results obtained for water, ethanol, glycerol, and aqueous electrolytes showed that liquid-dependent spectral changes can be measured in both configurations. The straight secondary conductor provides a larger signal and may be advantageous in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, whereas the VP secondary coil is advantageous for suppressing magnetic coupling and external magnetic-noise pickup. These results demonstrate the feasibility of non-contact liquid characterization based on a VP-induced electric field.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"62 10","pages":"8000606-8000606"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149250207","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}

They are actively studied for modern optoelectronics and biomedical applications, including LEDs and photonics; magnetic tuning; hyperthermia and cancer treatment; and high-temperature stability. In this study, the influence of Ni<sup>2+</sup> doping on crystallization behavior and magnetic properties of gehlenite-based calcium aluminosilicate glasses was studied. The glasses with a gehlenite composition were prepared with different Ni<sup>2+</sup> contents (0.1, 1.0, and 3.0 mol%). The glasses were prepared by conventional melt quenching. The prepared system was studied using X-ray diffraction analysis, differential thermal analysis (DTA), and a SQUID magnetometer. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the amorphous nature of all prepared systems. In the DTA curves of all samples, one exothermic effect was observed with a maximum in the temperature interval (1220–1320 K), which can be attributed to the crystallization of gehlenite. The maximum temperature of the crystallization peak decreased with increasing Ni<sup>2+</sup> content in the glasses, indicating an increasing tendency to crystallize and lower thermal stability of doped glasses. The magnetic properties of glasses changed as the Ni<sup>2+</sup> concentration increased, indicating the incorporation of Ni<sup>2+</sup> ions into the glass matrix. Magnetization versus external magnetic field dependence at 300 K indicated that the addition of Ni<sup>2+</sup> significantly influenced the magnetic properties of CAS glasses. First, with increasing Ni<sup>2+</sup> content, the influence of the diamagnetic component decreases, and conversely, the proportion of the paramagnetic component increases. At 2 K, only the paramagnetic component of the magnetization is present; however, the influence of this component increases with increasing Ni<sup>2+</sup> addition. Furthermore, the effect of crystallization on the magnetic properties of Ni-doped CAS glasses was investigated. The results will be used to shape and further process CAS glasses for magneto-optical applications.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"62 10","pages":"2200107-2200107"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149249222","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}
