3D-simulation studies of the modified magnetic multipole structure for an electron cyclotron resonance ion source
2004
Experiments have shown that efficient operation of an electron cyclotron resonance ion source requires that the magnetic field fulfills the so-called scaling laws. In most cases the requirements for the radial magnetic field, i.e. the strength of the magnetic multipole are the most difficult to satisfy. This is due to the fact that the multipole is usually produced from permanent magnets, which makes a value of 1.3 T feasible. One possible solution to increase the multipole field is the so-called Modified MultiPole Structure (JYFL-MMPS). This new idea makes it possible to increase the magnetic field at the places where the plasma flux is in contact with the plasma chamber wall. In this arti…

Field-Induced Slow Magnetic Relaxation in a Mononuclear Manganese(III)-Porphyrin Complex
2015
We report on a novel manganese(III)-porphyrin complex with the formula [Mn(III) (TPP)(3,5-Me2 pyNO)2 ]ClO4 ⋅CH3 CN (2; 3,5-Me2 pyNO=3,5-dimethylpyridine N-oxide, H2 TPP=5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin), in which the Mn(III) ion is six-coordinate with two monodentate 3,5-Me2 pyNO molecules and a tetradentate TPP ligand to build a tetragonally elongated octahedral geometry. The environment in 2 is responsible for the large and negative axial zero-field splitting (D=-3.8 cm(-1) ), low rhombicity (E/|D|=0.04) of the high-spin Mn(III) ion, and, ultimately, for the observation of slow magnetic-relaxation effects (Ea =15.5 cm(-1) at H=1000 G) in this rare example of a manganese-based single-ion ma…
Ferromagnetic dinuclear mixed-valence Mn(II)/Mn(III) complexes: building blocks for the higher nuclearity complexes. structure, magnetic properties, …
2013
A series of six mixed-valence Mn(II)/Mn(III) dinuclear complexes were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The reactivity of the complexes was surveyed, and structures of three additional trinuclear mixed-valence Mn(III)/Mn(II)/Mn(III) species were resolved. The magnetic properties of the complexes were studied in detail both experimentally and theoretically. All dinuclear complexes show ferromagnetic intramolecular interactions, which were justified on the basis of the electronic structures of the Mn(II) and Mn(III) ions. The large Mn(II)-O-Mn(III) bond angle and small distortion of the Mn(II) cation from the ideal square pyramidal geometry were shown to enhance the ferromag…
Carbonyl Back-Bonding Influencing the Rate of Quantum Tunnelling in a Dysprosium Metallocene Single-Molecule Magnet.
2019
The isocarbonyl-ligated metallocene coordination polymers [Cp*2M(μ-OC)W(Cp)(CO)(μ-CO)]∞ were synthesized with M = Gd (1, L = THF) and Dy (2, no L). In a zero direct-current field, the dysprosium version 2 was found to be a single-molecule magnet (SMM), with analysis of the dynamic magnetic susceptibility data revealing that the axial metallocene coordination environment leads to a large anisotropy barrier of 557(18) cm–1 and a fast quantum-tunnelling rate of ∼3.7 ms. Theoretical analysis of two truncated versions of 2, [Cp*2Dy{(μ-OC)W(Cp)(CO)2}2]− (2a), and [Cp*2Dy(OC)2]+ (2b), in which the effects of electron correlation outside the 4f orbital space were studied, revealed that tungsten-to-…
Développement d'un procédé électrochimique pour le recyclage du néodyme à partir de déchets électroniques
2018
Neodymium belongs to the lanthanide’s serie of the period system and is the key component of the permanent magnets Nd2Fe14B which are implemented in electronic devices and “green” technologies like wind turbines or electric cars and bicycles. Nowadays, only one percent of the neodymium in electronic scraps is recycled. Due to the geopolitical considerations and a strong increase of the use of permanent magnets, there is an impoverishment of the raw material resources leading to an instable market.Since some decades, few recycling processes have been developed on a lab scale without any upscaling to the industrial scale. The existing processes have several drawbacks like multiple steps to ob…
Design optimization for the adoption of bonded magnets in PM BLDC motors
2014
The increment of the manageable power in machines where the normally adopted ferrites are replaced with bonded magnets can vary and can introduce saturation problems depending on the variations in the magnetic circuit design. The saturation of the magnetic circuit distorts the phase voltages, introducing undesired harmonics in the connection to the mains. Combined modifications of both stator poles and rotor ring of a Brushless DC motor are proposed to evaluate their impact on the increment of the manageable power and on the harmonic content. Several magnetic circuit modifications have been considered and the paper presents the results of the most reasonable solutions, obtaining significant…
Impact of molecule-based magnetic materials: A critical outlook
2009
Abstract A critical outlook of the field of molecular magnetic materials is presented. This article is inspired by an international symposium devoted to the “ Design, Characterization and Modelling of Molecule-Based Magnetic Materials (DCM4-II)” that took place at Strasbourg (France), from May 28th to June 1st, within the E-MRS 2007 Spring Meeting (Symposium R) organized by the European Materials Research Society in collaboration with the European Science Foundation . A series of papers linked to this symposium are published in this issue and in the previous issue (Volume 11, Issue 4) of Solid State Sciences.
A cogging torque minimization procedure for IPMSMs based on different laminate geometry
2016
This paper presents a possible minimization procedure of the cogging torque generated by an IPMSM (Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine) with a progressive modification of a basic geometrical structure of rotor laminates. More in detail, an IPMSM model is analyzed by using a Finite Element Method (FEM) approach. Then, other IPMSM models, which are obtained by modifying the geometry of the IPMSM rotor laminates and by maintaining the same stator configuration, are proposed and discussed. From the obtained simulation results, the cogging torque components for each structure are determined by means of FEM and compared to each other. From this comparison, it can be stated that the cogg…
Optimum Performance of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators Coupled to Wind Turbines
2007
In this paper a control algorithm for the efficiency improvement of permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG) is presented. The proposed algorithm reduces the losses of the generator without affecting its performances. In details, after a description of a dynamic model of the PMSG, which has been purposely modified in order to take into account the iron losses, the basic equations and the constraints to obtain the loss minimization are presented and discussed. Some simulations of a specific PMSG employing the proposed algorithm are performed. The results of these simulations show that enhancement of the efficiency up to 3% can be reached in comparison to a PMSG using a traditional cont…
