A neutrino oscillation experiment aims to the observation of the transformation of a neutrino of a given flavour into a neutrino of a different flavour. A beam of neutrinos is produced through the decay of charged pions which in turn are produced in the collision of high energy ... Read More
MRI offers many advantages over other modalities and its lack of ionizing radiation is important for children, but can be limited by the radio-frequency (RF) coils available. This work calculates Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and homogeneity of the RF transmit field (B1+) when imaging ... Read More
Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) are nowadays used in various areas of biology, chemistry or physics. Focused laser beams, optical tweezers, may be used to manipulate such NPs. However, experimental studies showed that there is a discrepancy between their predicted and observed behavior. ... Read More
For the SAFARI Imaging Spectrometer, part of the SPICA satellite payload, a Calibration Source is under development. Challenges in the design include the low cooling power (few mW) available at cryogenic temperatures. COMSOL Multiphysics® simulations were used extensively in the design ... Read More
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors proved themselves as a promising device for many kinds of applications such as optical biosensing, binding constant determinationor nanofilm thickness measurements. Here we simulate using COMSOL Multiphysics® the light-polaritons coupling for the ... Read More
Nano-structures consisting of layered metal-dielectric stacks (MDSs) can be designed to have evanescent transmission and reflection coefficients that oscillate as a function of transverse wavevector and frequency. However, these structures always suffer from the material losses and ... Read More
The prediction of the exact location and intensity of the electric field induced in the human brain during Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a nontrivial computational task. Numerical simulations of the procedure can be used to acquire first approximations in a safe and controlled ... Read More
We present a simplified 3D model that simulates the operation of a linear microscale integrated ion trap. It employs a set of metalized electrodes, which are formed on top of an insulator layer on silicon substrate. The confinement in all three dimensions is provided by the application ... Read More
In the field of electric machines, a trend towards both higher efficiency and higher power density is observed. This has led to a growing importance of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines. However, the magnets used in these machines risk demagnetization at high temperatures. Especially ... Read More
Laminated media are intended to conduct the magnetic flux in the plane (high resistance to limit the eddy currents). When fringing flux falls in perpendicularly to the plane, the surface for the eddy currents is no longer small. This will cause eddy current losses, which will reduce the ... Read More
