MultiPhysics Simulation of Direct Double Helix Magnets for Charged Particle Applications

P. J. Masson[1], and R. B. Meinke[1]
[1]Advanced Magnet Lab, Palm Bay, Florida, USA

Charged particle beam manipulation requires magnetic dipoles for steering and quadrupoles for focusing. Conventional magnets are currently used leading to very large and heavy systems. Miniaturization of the optic magnets would enable the development of more affordable systems and ... Read More

Numerical Study of the Electrical Properties of Insulating Thin Films Deposited on a Conductive Substrate

R.A.Gerhardt[1], and S. Kumar[1]
[1]School of Materials Science and Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Parametric finite element simulations were performed to study the effect of film thickness, and electrode size on the different impedance parameters for insulating thin films deposited on a conductive substrate. COMSOL Multiphysics® was used to solve the quasi-static form of Maxwell’s ... Read More

Using Perturbation Force Analysis for the Design of a Levitronc: an Application of Magnetic Levitation

Z. De Grève[1,2], C.Versèle[1], and J.Lobry[1]
[1]Faculty of Engineering, Mons, Belgium
[2]Belgian Fund for Research, F.R.S./FNRS, ResearchFellow, Belgium

The Levitron offers an interesting demonstration of natural magnetic levitation using permanent magnets. It is composed by a small magnetized top and a circular magnetized base with a hole on its center. The top is placed in an area where magnetic field configuration and gyroscopic ... Read More

Gate Control of Single-Electron Spins in GaAs/AlGaAs Semiconductor Quantum Dot

S. Prabhakar and J. Raynolds
College of NanoScale Science and Engineering, University at Albany, Albany, NY, USA

Non-charge-based logic is the notion that an electron can be trapped and its spin manipulated through application of gate voltages. Numerical simulations of Spin Single Electron Transistors (SSET) at University at Albany, aimed at practical development of post-CMOS concepts and devices ... Read More

An App for Calculating the Electric Field outside Electrical Installations

N. Lavesson [1],
[1] ABB Corporate Research, Västerås, Sweden

This paper describes the implementation of an app for calculating low frequency electric fields outside electrical installations. The app is based on a 2D parametric geometry chosen in such a way that it approximates a large class of electrical installations, which consist of a tower or ... Read More

Impact of Electro-Convection (EC) on Heat Transfer in Liquid-Filled Containers

A. Pokryvailo [1],
[1] Spellman High Voltage Electronics Corporation, Hauppauge, NY, USA

Electric field can bring liquid in motion and thus influence heat transfer. Electro-convection (EC) can be caused by electric forces acting on a liquid, even in absence of space charge. Here, we studied heat transfer in a metal vessel filled by oil, with a submersed high voltage ... Read More

COMSOL Multiphysics® Software Used as a Laplacian Potential Simulator for an Electrospray Propulsion System Extraction Region

S. Gallucci [1], P. Mirbod [1],
[1] Clarkson University, Potsdam, NY, USA

Electrospray propulsion is a contemporary type of thruster technology that electrostatically drives particles through an extractor grid without the need of a pump. The basis of this propulsion system is the coalescence of propellant into a Taylor cone and through a charged extraction ... Read More

Analysis & Design Optimization of Laterally Driven PolySilicon Electro-thermal Microgripper for Micro-objects Manipulation

T. Pahwa[1], S. Gupta[1], V. Bansal[1], R. Narwal[1], B. Prasad[1], D. Kumar[1]
[1]Electronic Science Department, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, India

Micro-grippers find applications in micro-robotics, microsurgery, micro-fluidics, micro-relays, assembling and miniature medical instrumentation. Actuation principle involved may be electrothermal, electrostatic, piezoelectric, shape memory and electromagnetic. It has been found that ... Read More
