Designing a Radio Frequency (RF) birdcage coil used in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at high frequencies where the wavelength is comparable with the coil dimensions is a challenging task. Before construction of the coil, not only calculating the capacitance value which is necessary ... Read More
In the EMPIR project ADVENT the Scanning Microwave Microscopy (SMM) is investigated. The SMM is a still rather novel member of the family of scanning probe microscope. It has attracted a lot of attention recently, because this instrument can be used to characterize various electrical ... Read More
Microheaters used for gas sensing applications have been studied analytically and experimentally. Previously reported microheaters at COMSOL® conferences have shed light on microheaters’ thermal properties, optimized geometries and power consumption—all based on steady-state analysis. In ...

The field of Biomedical Engineering is expanding at an exponential rate. As we began to unravel clues about our complex biological vessels, we uncovered more questions than answers. Our collective curiosity has led biomedical engineering into a broadening field by study of physiological ... Read More
This paper describes the design of a normally closed, electrodynamic microvalve. Magnetic forces between a permanent magnet in the valve cover and a soft magnet in the valve seat hold the valve closed. The combination of electrodynamic actuation and a mechanical restoring spring are ... Read More
Harald Biller studied mathematics and physics at Darmstadt, London, and Würzburg. In 1999, he received his PhD from Stuttgart University, specializing in functional analysis, topology, and Lie theory. He worked as a lecturer at Darmstadt University until 2004, when he became a ... Read More
A discrete model for the prediction of relative ion bombardment flux and target erosion in planar sputtering magnetrons is implemented in COMSOL Multiphysics®. Planar magnetrons are used within physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes to form thin film depositions on various types of ... Read More
This paper describes the thermal and structural combined simulation on COMSOL Multiphysics® of a Microwave (MW) Fin Taper (FT) Spatial Power Combiner (SPC) Power Amplifier (PA), based on rectangular Waveguide (WG). In the SPC based PA's, the captured power is feeded by microstrip ... Read More
在微波加热的多物理场仿真中，如果被加热物体的几何区域太小或者太薄，会造成整个模型网格剖分困难、网格数量多且计算消耗内存大等问题。本文针对微波加热时薄壁容器的网格剖分困难，网格数量大，且占用计算机内存资源多的问题，提出了一种基于变换光学算法的微波薄壁加热模型计算优化方法。利用变换光学算法将薄壁区域空间扩大，通过改变薄壁区域内的介质参数来与原模型进行空间映射，从而避免网格剖分过程中的薄壁问题出现，这样可以在同样的网格剖分设置下减少整个模型的网格数量，节省计算时间，减少计算机内存资源的占用。通过相应的公式推导，在二维模型中实现了薄壁变换光学算法的计算 ... Read More
Several permanent-magnet excited rotor types for a brushless DC motor can be designed regarding their applicability based on the arrangement of the permanent magnets; since the rotor configurations strongly influence the performance of permanent magnet electrical machines. Surface ... Read More
