Why to study magnetism?
- since it is a complex, challenging field of science with ultimum range of scopes – from interaction of spins, up to transformer cores of 500 tons mass
- since industry shows high demand that hardly is fulfilled in Austria—in contrast to thousands of experts in Japan
Thematics
Basic measurements
by means of high-field electromagnet, on bar/cylinder samples
- B/H correspondences
- saturation tests
- sensor calibration
by means of advanced Epstein tester, on strip samples
- B/H correspondences
- loss measurements
- magnetostriction measurements
by means of rotational single sheet tester on plate samples
- B/H correspondences
- loss measurements
- magnetostriction and strain measurements
- domain studies
Model core investigations
- surface analyses of local distributions of flux density, field, losses, magnetostriction, vibrations and sound
- interior analyses of 3-D distributions of losses and field
Magnetic sensors
- combined detectors for in-plane/off-plane flux and eddy current losses
- bilayer sensors for temperature and curvature
- biomedical bilayer sensors for respiratory and cardiac activities
Specific current research work
- transformer core saturation as caused by geomagnetic storms
- effects of package design on core performance
- effects of off-plane flux on material characteristics
- application of 3-D printing on magnetic sensors
