摘要:
Cobalt rich amorphous metal alloys have a value of magnetostriction of about -6.times.10.sup.-6 to +4.times.10.sup.-6 and a saturation induction of about 0.1 to 1.0T. The alloys, especially suited for soft magnetic applications, have the formula (Co.sub.1-x T.sub.x).sub.100-b (B.sub.1-y Y.sub.y).sub.b, where T is at least one of Cr and V, Y is at least one of carbon and silicon, B is boron, x ranges from about 0.05 to 0.25, y ranges from about 0 to 0.75 and b ranges from about 14 to 28.
摘要:
Glassy alloys containing cobalt, nickel and iron and evidencing near-zero magnetostriction and high saturation induction are disclosed. The glassy alloys consist essentially of about 13 to 73 atom percent cobalt, about 5 to 50 atom percent nickel, about 2 to 17 atom percent iron, with the proviso that the total of cobalt, nickel and iron is about 80 atom percent, and the balance essentially boron plus incidental impurities. The magnetostriction of the glassy alloys ranges from about +3.times.10.sup.-6 to -3.times.10.sup.-6 and the saturation induction is at least about 8 kGauss.
摘要:
Apparatus and method for harvesting energy from the environment and/or other external sources and converting it to useful electrical energy. The harvester does not contain a permanent magnet or other local field source but instead relies on the earth's magnetic field of another source of a magnetic field that is external to the sensing device. One advantage of these new harvesters is that they can be made smaller and lighter than energy harvesters that contain a magnet and/or an inertial mass.
摘要:
An inductive energy harvester comprises a permanent magnet magnetic field source attached by a pair of compact spiral disk springs to an induction coil. The springs position the magnet so that the induction coil surrounds one end of the magnet where the flux density is greatest. In addition, the magnetic flux emerging from that end of the magnet is enhanced by a disk of magnetic material having high permeability and high flux density. In another embodiment, the magnetic field source comprises two dipole magnets arranged in opposing flux relationship with a thin layer of high flux density, high magnetic permeability material located in a gap between the magnets.

A semi-hard magnetic element is formed of an amorphous soft iron-metalloid material containing at least 50 atomic percent iron and at least a part of the bulk of which has been crystallized to give the overall element semi-hard magnetic properties.
摘要:
A mixture including at least one iron oxide and a mon-magnetic matrix material is melted or vaporized and then heat is rapidly removed from the material. The resulting magnetic oxide precipitates are densely packed in the non-magnetic matrix. The precipitates have a narrow particle size distribution which results in a high signal-to-noise ratio when the oxides are used for magnetic recording purposes. The non-magnetic matrix can be removed to yield homogeneous, small particle iron oxide containing magnetic powder. Alternatively, the non-magnetic matrix/iron oxide material can be processed to yield a shaped recording medium.
摘要:
A magnetic glassy metal alloy sheet is annealed at elevated temperature in a first magnetic field oriented in a direction substantially normal to the plane of the sheet. A second anneal may be performed in a weaker magnetic field in a direction substantially normal to the first field to minimize AC hysteresis losses. The annealed magnetic glassy metal alloy sheet has improved soft magnetic properties such as low hysteresis losses and may be used for transformer cores and the like.

Passive solid-state magnetic sensors are based on the combination of magnetorestrictive materials and piezoelectric materials. Sensors have applications in rotor speed detection, magnetic field detection, read heads, and MRAM, for example.
摘要:
Magnetically-controlled actuator materials are provided that produce large actuation stroke, that exhibit fast actuation response time and corresponding high-frequency operation, and that enable efficient actuation energy conversion at convenient operating temperatures. The actuator materials exhibit an austenitic crystal structure above a characteristic phase transformation temperature and exhibit a martensitic twinned crystal structure below the phase transformation temperature. One actuator material provided by the invention is an alloy composition that can be defined generally as (Ni.sub.a Fe.sub.b Co.sub.c).sub.65-x-y (Mn.sub.d Fe.sub.e Co.sub.f).sub.20+x (Ga.sub.g Si.sub.h Al.sub.i).sub.15+y, where x is between about 3 atomic % and about 15 atomic % and y is between about 3 atomic % and about 12 atomic %, and where a+b+c=1, where d+e+f=1, and g+h+i=1. The actuator material is characterized by a magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy that is sufficient for enabling motion of twin boundaries of the martensitic twinned crystal structure in response to application of a magnetic field to the martensitic twinned crystal structure. This enables the material to produce an actuation stroke in response to the magnetic field. Based on this actuation mechanism, the actuator materials of the invention overcome the thermal, stroke, and frequency response limitations typically associated with actuator materials, and enable a class of actuators with large stroke and high speed at convenient temperatures.
