Laser-induced photovoltage in ferromagnetic thin films is often explained by magneto-thermoelectric effects such as the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE). ANE appears when thermal gradients interact with magnetization. While power loss in flat films can be estimated analytically, numerical ... Read More
The AC losses that superconducting magnet systems experience during transient events are an important design consideration in fusion reactors. We present results on the approach for calculating AC losses in the high temperature superconducting (HTS) toroidal field (TF) magnets of the ... Read More
Binary meta-optical structures offer many new possibilities in the efficient manufacturing of products like diffractive beam splitters, phase correction elements, gratings and many more. At JENOPTIK we manufacture a variety of optical elements, based on electron beam lithography (EBL) ... Read More
Balises are an essential part of pointwise train control systems ensuring the operational safety. Combined with a corresponding onboard unit, it represents an inductive transponder system (Fig. 1). During a crossing, the balise is activated by the 27 MHz magnetic field of the vehicle ... Read More
This case study explains the work we undertook where we modelled an Induction heating system in COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software to correlate the simulation results with actual measurements. The simulated results were cross checked with several different measurement scenarios, ... Read More
Background: Magnetic Induction Tomography (MIT) is an electromagnetic imaging technique that maps a material's electrical conductivity by inducing eddy currents via a primary oscillating magnetic field. The resulting secondary magnetic fields from the eddy currents are measured for image ... Read More
As semiconductor devices continue to shrink and incorporate complex 3D architectures, conventional optical metrology faces limitations in resolving features smaller than the optical wavelength or those hidden beneath opaque layers. Ultrafast photoacoustic spectroscopy provides a ... Read More
The integration of plasmonic components into optoelectronic platforms enables promising pathways for high-speed, ultra-compact signal modulation at the nanoscale. In this work, we present a novel all-plasmonic modulator, which leverages localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-induced ... Read More
Wireless power transfer (WPT) systems enable the transfer of electrical energy wirelessly without any physical contact by using magnetic fields generated by time-varying currents. Among several WPT techniques, inductive power transfer (IPT) is the most widely used due to its simplicity ... Read More
Many industrial processes involving chemical reactions rely on heat addition, which accounts for approximately 50% of all energy consumed in the United States' industrial sector. Examples include metallurgical processes, chemical processing, and heating process fluids. Traditionally, ... Read More
