Why to study magnetism?



Thematics

Basic measurements

by means of high-field electromagnet, on bar/cylinder samples

by means of advanced Epstein tester, on strip samples

by means of rotational single sheet tester on plate samples


Model core investigations


Magnetic sensors


Specific current research work



Examples of apparatus

Rotational single sheet tester for the generation of exactly defined 2-dimensional magnetization patterns
Transformer model core for the study of 3-dimensional interactions of individual packages
High-energy magnet for optical observation of material deformations due to strong static fields
Combined 3D/2D printer for automatic manufacturing of thin sensors including amorphous soft-magnetic ribbons


Examples of results

Domains under the influence of off-plane field components
Rhombic rotational magnetization patterns in a T-joint region
2-dimensional distribution of power losses in a model transformer core
Instantaneous stray field configuration under the influence of DC bias
