The growth of the diffusion layer obeys the parabolic rate law and the growth rateincreases with the application of the alternative magnetic field. This growth rate change ismanifested through a change in the frequency factor k_0 and not through a change in the activationenergy Q. The frequency factor k_0 for the diffusion layer growth with the alternative magneticfield is 5.03 cm^2/s and the one without the magnetic field is 3.84 cm^2/s.展开更多

When welding current is larger than 200 A, the molten metal tends to flow down due to the force of gravity. In order to "push" the molten metal into the weld, a new kind of U-frame excitation model, which could produce electromagnetic force to balance the gravity of the molten pool, was designed. The related parameters of the excitation model were simulated by Maxwell 3D, and the relationships between the parameters and the magnetic induction intensity were analyzed. Finally, the electromagnetic force in the molten pool was calculated, and the appropriate parameters of the U-frame excitation model were determined. The results of the simulation verify the feasibility of the all-position welding excitation model.展开更多

The beam electrons emit genuine laser radiation that propagates only in the axial direction through free-electron two- quantum Stark radiation. We find that laser radiation takes place only at the expense of the axial kinetic energy when Aw 〈〈 c/(ωc/γ), where ωc/γ is the relativistic electron--cyclotron frequency. We formulate the laser power based on quantum-wiggler electrodynamics, and envision a laser of length lore with estimated power 0.1 GW/(kA) in the 10-4 cm wavelength range.展开更多

In our method, the SLP was calculated by solving the magnetization relaxation equation of Shliomis numerically, in which the magnetic field strength at time t (H(t)) was assumed to be given by , with H<sub>s</sub> being the strength of the SMF. We also investigated the SLP values in the case when the SMF with a field-free point (FFP) generated by two solenoid coils was used. The SLP value in the quasi steady state (SLP<sub>qss</sub>) decreased with increasing H<sub>s</sub>. The plot of the SLP<sub>qss</sub> values against the position from the FFP became narrow as the gradient strength of the SMF (G<sub>s</sub>) increased. Conversely, it became broad as G<sub>s</sub> decreased. These results suggest that the temperature rise and the area of local heating in magnetic hyperthermia can be controlled by varying the H<sub>s</sub> and G<sub>s</sub> values, respectively. In conclusion, our method will be useful for estimating the SLP in the presence of both the AMF and SMF and for designing an effective local heating system for magnetic hyperthermia in order to reduce the risk of overheating surrounding healthy tissues.展开更多

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of various doses of non-ionizing radiation of magnetic field on date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) based on DNA content. Date palm seedlings (cv. Khalas) established for 2 weeks on filter paper were subjected to static magnetic field and alternating magnetic field. Static magnetic fields (SMF) were applied at 10, 50 and 100 mT for 30, 60, 120, 180, 240 and 360 min; while alternating magnetic field applied by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 1500 mT for 1, 5, 10 and 15 min. The seedlings were grown in potting soil following exposure for 4 weeks after which DNA was extracted from leaves and its content was determined. Generally, the exposure to magnetic field caused reduction in the content of DNA. The lowest exposure time tested, 30 rain, was sufficient to induce reduction in DNA content. This was true even at the lowest intensity, 10 mT. This dosage caused the DNA content to decrease from 49 ~tg/g to 45 pg/g. Further, increase of the exposure duration to 60 min caused significant reduction in the DNA content, 36 μg/g. At intensities higher than 10 mT, DNA content decreased significantly even at the shortest exposure of 30 min. At 50 and 100 mT, significant decrease in DNA content was also noticed in response to 30 min exposure; whereas the level of DNA increased after 1 min of MRI exposure to 52 ~g/g, then decreased after 5 min to 46 ~g/g. However, longer durations caused no further decrease in the DNA content. These observations indicate that magnetic fields interact with DNA processes, probably by inhibiting synthesis or stimulating degradation of DNA. This response merits further exploration as a mutational agent for date palm genetic manipulation.展开更多

In the first method, the SLP was calculated by solving the magnetization relaxation equation of Shliomis numerically (SLP<sub>1</sub>). In the second method, the SLP was obtained by solving Shliomis’ relaxation equation using the complex susceptibility (SLP<sub>2</sub>). The third method was based on Rosensweig’s model (SLP<sub>3</sub>). The SLP<sub>3</sub> value changed largely depending on the magnetic field strength (H) in the Langevin parameter (§) and it became maximum (SLP<sub>3</sub><sup>max</sup>) and minimum (SLP<sub>3</sub><sup>min</sup>) when H was 0 and ±H<sub>0</sub>, respectively. The relative difference between SLP<sub>1</sub> and SLP<sub>2</sub> was the largest and increased with increasing D and H<sub>0</sub>, whereas that between SLP<sub>1</sub> and was the smallest and was almost constant regardless of D and H<sub>0</sub>, suggesting that H in ξ should be taken as H<sub>0</sub> in estimating the SLP using Rosensweig’s model. In conclusion, this study will be useful for optimizing the parameters of AMF in magnetic hyperthermia and for the optimal design of MNPs for magnetic hyperthermia.展开更多

It is taken into account that the average force with which the source of the alternating magnetic field and the inductive Foucault current is equal to zero, the self-force arises as a result of the interaction of unclosed Foucault conduction currents with the displacement current created by a conductor located in a non-uniform magnetic field. The average force acting on a symmetrical conductor located between the poles of an electromagnet turned out to be different from zero. The greatest value of this force is observed in the region of maximum inhomogeneity of the magnetic field.展开更多

This study was designed to control the hyperthermia position and area using a combination of alternating current (AC) and a static magnetic field. MnZn ferrite (MZF) nanoparticles which exhibited excellent hyperthermia properties were first prepared and characterized as an inductive heating mediator. We built model static magnetic fields simply using a pair of permanent magnets and studied the static magnetic field distributions by measurements and numerical simulations. The influence of the transverse static magnetic fields on hyperthermia properties was then investigated on MZF magnetic fluid, gel phantoms and SMMC-7721 cells in vitro. The results showed a static magnetic field can inhibit the temperature rise of MZF nanoparticles in an AC magnetic field. But in the uneven static magnetic field formed by a magnet pair with repelling poles face-to-face, the heating area can be restricted in a central low static field; meanwhile the side effects of hyperthermia can be reduced by a surrounding high static field. As a result we can position the hyperthermia area, protect the non-therapeutic area, and reduce the side effects lust by using a well-designed combination of AC and static field.展开更多

The hot tearing volume of the castings was measured via paraffin infiltration method. The microstructure of the hot tearing zone of the casting was observed using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and the phase composition was analyzed using X-ray diffraction and energy depressive spectroscopy. The experimental results show that the solidification interval of AXJ530 alloy was shortened and the dendrite coherency temperature of the alloy decreased with the increase in frequency of alternating magnetic field. Under appropriate magnetic field parameters, the electromagnetic force could enhance the convection in the melt to promote the flow of the residual liquid phase, refine the microstructure, and optimize the feeding channel in the late solidification stage, which reduced the HTS of the alloy. However, when the magnetic field frequency was increased to 15 Hz, the induced current generated excessive Joule heat to the melt. At this time, the thermal action of the magnetic field coarsened the microstructure of the alloy, resulting in an increase in HTS of the alloy.展开更多

The related parameters of the excitation model were simulated by Maxwell 3D, and the relationships between the parameters and the magnetic induction intensity were analyzed. Finally, the electromagnetic force in the molten pool was calculated, and the appropriate parameters of the U-frame excitation model were determined. The results of the simulation verify the feasibility of the all-position welding excitation model.
文摘Non-invasive brain current stimulation(NIBS) is a promising and versatile tool for inducing neuroplasticity,protection and functional rehabilitation of damaged neuronal systems.It is technically simple,requires no surgery,and has significant beneficial effects.However,there are various technical approaches for NIBS which influence neuronal networks in significantly different ways.Transcranial direct current stimulation(t DCS),alternating current stimulation(ACS) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(r TMS) all have been applied to modulate brain activity in animal experiments under normal and pathological conditions.Also clinical trials have shown that t DCS,r TMS and ACS induce significant behavioural effects and can – depending on the parameters chosen – enhance or decrease brain excitability and influence performance and learning as well as rehabilitation and protective mechanisms.The diverse phaenomena and partially opposing effects of NIBS are not yet fully understood and mechanisms of action need to be explored further in order to select appropriate parameters for a given task,such as current type and strength,timing,distribution of current densities and electrode position.In this review,we will discuss the various parameters which need to be considered when designing a NIBS protocol and will put them into context with the envisaged applications in experimental neurobiology and medicine such as vision restoration,motor rehabilitation and cognitive enhancement.
文摘A magnetic abrasive finishing process using an alternating magnetic field is proposed for the finishing of complex surfaces.In an alternating field,the periodic changes in current will cause the magnetic cluster used as a magnetic brush to fluctuate,which will not only continuously replace the abrasive particles in contact with the workpiece,but also periodically adjust the shape of the magnetic cluster to better fit the surface of the workpiece.In this paper,the influence of a combination of alternating and static magnetic fields on the magnetic field in the finishing area is analyzed.The feasibility of this process for finishing micro-grooves is investigated.Simulations and experimental measurements show that the combination of alternating and static magnetic fields can retain the advantages of the alternating field while increasing the magnetic flux density in the finishing area.The experimental results show that the process is feasible for finishing micro-grooves,with an excellent deburring effect on the groove edges.

文摘The use of low electrically conducting liquids is more and more widespread.This is the case for molten glass,salt or slag processing,ionic liquids used in biotechnology,batteries in energy storage and metallurgy.The present paper deals with the design of a new electromagnetic induction device that can heat and stir low electricallyconducting liquids.It consists of a resistance-capacity-inductance circuit coupled with a low-conducting liquid load.The device is supplied by a unique electric power source delivering a single-phase high frequency electric current.The main working principle of the circuit is based on a double oscillating circuit inductor connected to the solid-state transistor generator.This technique,which yields a set of coupled oscillating circuits,consists of coupling a forced phase and an induced phase,neglecting the influence of the electric parameters of the loading part(i.e.,the low-conductivity liquid).It is shown that such an inductor is capable to provide a two-phase AC traveling magnetic field at high frequency.To better understand the working principle,the present work improves a previous existing simplified theory by taking into account a complex electrical equivalent diagram due to the different mutual couplings between the two inductors and the two corresponding induced current sets.A more detailed theoretical model is provided,and the key and sensitive elements are elaborated.Based on this theory,equipment is designed to provide a stirring effect on sodium chloride-salted water at 40 S/m.It is shown that such a device fed by several hundred kiloHertz electric currents is able to mimic a linear motor.A set of optimized operating parameters are proposed to guide the experiment.A pure electromagnetic numerical model is presented.Numerical modelling of the load is performed in order to assess the efficiency of the stirrer with a salt water load.Such a device can generate a significant liquid motion with both controlled flow patterns and adjustable amplitude.Based on the magnetohydrodynamic theory,numerical modeling of the salt water flow generated by the stirrer confirms its feasibility.
文摘We consider the radiation from the beam electrons traveling in a strong uniform axial magnetic field and an axial alternating electric field of wavelength Aw generated by a voltage-supplied pill-box cavity. The beam electrons emit genuine laser radiation that propagates only in the axial direction through free-electron two- quantum Stark radiation. We find that laser radiation takes place only at the expense of the axial kinetic energy when Aw 〈〈 c/(ωc/γ), where ωc/γ is the relativistic electron--cyclotron frequency. We formulate the laser power based on quantum-wiggler electrodynamics, and envision a laser of length lore with estimated power 0.1 GW/(kA) in the 10-4 cm wavelength range.
文摘Our purpose in this study was to present a method for estimating the specific loss power (SLP) in magnetic hyperthermia in the presence of an external static magnetic field (SMF) and to investigate the SLP values estimated by this method under various diameters (D) of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and amplitudes (H<sub>0</sub>) and frequencies (f) of an alternating magnetic field (AMF). In our method, the SLP was calculated by solving the magnetization relaxation equation of Shliomis numerically, in which the magnetic field strength at time t (H(t)) was assumed to be given by , with H<sub>s</sub> being the strength of the SMF. We also investigated the SLP values in the case when the SMF with a field-free point (FFP) generated by two solenoid coils was used. The SLP value in the quasi steady state (SLP<sub>qss</sub>) decreased with increasing H<sub>s</sub>. The plot of the SLP<sub>qss</sub> values against the position from the FFP became narrow as the gradient strength of the SMF (G<sub>s</sub>) increased. Conversely, it became broad as G<sub>s</sub> decreased. These results suggest that the temperature rise and the area of local heating in magnetic hyperthermia can be controlled by varying the H<sub>s</sub> and G<sub>s</sub> values, respectively. In conclusion, our method will be useful for estimating the SLP in the presence of both the AMF and SMF and for designing an effective local heating system for magnetic hyperthermia in order to reduce the risk of overheating surrounding healthy tissues.
文摘Plant stress caused by exposure to magnetic fields (MF) induces modifications at molecular level, particularly in DNA synthesis, structure, and function. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of various doses of non-ionizing radiation of magnetic field on date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) based on DNA content. Date palm seedlings (cv. Khalas) established for 2 weeks on filter paper were subjected to static magnetic field and alternating magnetic field. Static magnetic fields (SMF) were applied at 10, 50 and 100 mT for 30, 60, 120, 180, 240 and 360 min; while alternating magnetic field applied by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 1500 mT for 1, 5, 10 and 15 min. The seedlings were grown in potting soil following exposure for 4 weeks after which DNA was extracted from leaves and its content was determined. Generally, the exposure to magnetic field caused reduction in the content of DNA. The lowest exposure time tested, 30 rain, was sufficient to induce reduction in DNA content. This was true even at the lowest intensity, 10 mT. This dosage caused the DNA content to decrease from 49 ~tg/g to 45 pg/g. Further, increase of the exposure duration to 60 min caused significant reduction in the DNA content, 36 μg/g. At intensities higher than 10 mT, DNA content decreased significantly even at the shortest exposure of 30 min. At 50 and 100 mT, significant decrease in DNA content was also noticed in response to 30 min exposure; whereas the level of DNA increased after 1 min of MRI exposure to 52 ~g/g, then decreased after 5 min to 46 ~g/g. However, longer durations caused no further decrease in the DNA content. These observations indicate that magnetic fields interact with DNA processes, probably by inhibiting synthesis or stimulating degradation of DNA. This response merits further exploration as a mutational agent for date palm genetic manipulation.
文摘Our purpose in this study was to present three methods for estimating specific loss power (SLP) in magnetic hyperthermia with use of an alternating magnetic field (AMF) and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and to compare the SLP values estimated by the three methods using simulation studies under various diameters of MNPs (D), amplitudes (H<sub>0</sub>) and frequencies of AMF (f). In the first method, the SLP was calculated by solving the magnetization relaxation equation of Shliomis numerically (SLP<sub>1</sub>). In the second method, the SLP was obtained by solving Shliomis’ relaxation equation using the complex susceptibility (SLP<sub>2</sub>). The third method was based on Rosensweig’s model (SLP<sub>3</sub>). The SLP<sub>3</sub> value changed largely depending on the magnetic field strength (H) in the Langevin parameter (§) and it became maximum (SLP<sub>3</sub><sup>max</sup>) and minimum (SLP<sub>3</sub><sup>min</sup>) when H was 0 and ±H<sub>0</sub>, respectively. The relative difference between SLP<sub>1</sub> and SLP<sub>2</sub> was the largest and increased with increasing D and H<sub>0</sub>, whereas that between SLP<sub>1</sub> and was the smallest and was almost constant regardless of D and H<sub>0</sub>, suggesting that H in ξ should be taken as H<sub>0</sub> in estimating the SLP using Rosensweig’s model. In conclusion, this study will be useful for optimizing the parameters of AMF in magnetic hyperthermia and for the optimal design of MNPs for magnetic hyperthermia.
文摘The work is an attempt to find the force with which an electromagnetic system with Foucault currents acts on itself. It is taken into account that the average force with which the source of the alternating magnetic field and the inductive Foucault current is equal to zero, the self-force arises as a result of the interaction of unclosed Foucault conduction currents with the displacement current created by a conductor located in a non-uniform magnetic field. The average force acting on a symmetrical conductor located between the poles of an electromagnet turned out to be different from zero. The greatest value of this force is observed in the region of maximum inhomogeneity of the magnetic field.

文摘Implant-related osteomyelitis is a formidable hurdle in the clinical setting and is characterized by inflammation,infection,and consequential bone destruction.Therefore,effective reactive oxygen species(ROS)scavenging,bacterial killing,and subsequent bone tissue repair are urgently needed for the treatment of difficult-to-heal osteomyelitis.Herein,we utilized the eddy-thermal effect of magnesium(Mg)implants under an alternating magnetic field(AMF)for the controlled release of H_(2)gas and ions(OH^(-)and Mg^(2+))for the treatment of osteomyelitis.H_(2)released by Mg rods under AMFs effectively scavenged cytotoxic ROS,exhibiting anti-inflammatory effects and consequently disrupting the environment of bacterial infections.In addition,the OH-hindered the energy metabolism of bacteria by effectively neutralizing protons within the microenvironment.Moreover,H_(2)impaired the permeability of bacterial membranes and expedited the damage induced by OH-.This synergistic AMF-induced H_(2)and proton depletion treatment approach not only killed both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria but also effectively treated bacterial infections(abscesses and osteomyelitis).Moreover,Mg^(2+)released from the Mg rods enhanced and accelerated the process of bone osteogenesis.Overall,our work cleverly exploited the eddy-thermal effect and chemical activity of Mg implants under AMFs,aiming to eliminate the inflammatory environment and combat bacterial infections by the simultaneous release of H_(2),OH^(-),and Mg^(2+),thereby facilitating tissue regeneration.This therapeutic strategy achieved multiple benefits in one,thus presenting a promising avenue for clinical application.

文摘Electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials with ultrathin,flexible,superior mechanical and thermal management properties are highly desirable for smart and wearable electronics.Here,ultrathin and flexible Ni/Cu/metallic glass/Cu/Ni(Ni/Cu/MG)multilayer composite with alternate magnetic and electrical structures was designed via facial electroless plating of Cu and Ni on an Fe-based metallic glass.The resultant 0.02 mm-thick Ni/Cu/MG composite displays a superior EMI shielding effectiveness(EMI SE)of 35 dB and a great EMI SE/t of 1750 dB/mm,which is greater than those of composites with monotonous multilayer or homogeneous structures.The improved EMI SE originates from the massive ohmic losses,the enhanced internal reflection/absorption,and the abundant interfacial polarization loss.Particularly,Ni/Cu/MG exhibits a high tensile strength of up to 1.2 GPa and outstanding mechanical stability,enabling the EMI SE remains unchanged after 10,000 times of bending.Moreover,Ni/Cu/MG has excellent Joule heating characteristics and thermal stability,which is very suitable for heating components of wearable hyperthermia devices.
文摘The conversion of electromagnetic energy into heat by nanomagnets has the potential to be a powerful, non-invasive technique for cancer therapy by hyperthermia and hyperthermia-based drug release, while temperature controllability and targeted heating are challenges to developing applications of such magnetic inductive hyperthermia. This study was designed to control the hyperthermia position and area using a combination of alternating current (AC) and a static magnetic field. MnZn ferrite (MZF) nanoparticles which exhibited excellent hyperthermia properties were first prepared and characterized as an inductive heating mediator. We built model static magnetic fields simply using a pair of permanent magnets and studied the static magnetic field distributions by measurements and numerical simulations. The influence of the transverse static magnetic fields on hyperthermia properties was then investigated on MZF magnetic fluid, gel phantoms and SMMC-7721 cells in vitro. The results showed a static magnetic field can inhibit the temperature rise of MZF nanoparticles in an AC magnetic field. But in the uneven static magnetic field formed by a magnet pair with repelling poles face-to-face, the heating area can be restricted in a central low static field; meanwhile the side effects of hyperthermia can be reduced by a surrounding high static field. As a result we can position the hyperthermia area, protect the non-therapeutic area, and reduce the side effects lust by using a well-designed combination of AC and static field.

文摘Herein, a hot tearing measured system with external excitation coil and a differential thermal analysis system with applied magnetic field were used to study the effects of low-frequency alternating magnetic field on the solidification behavior and hot tearing susceptibility(HTS) of the AXJ530 alloy under different magnetic field parameters. The hot tearing volume of the castings was measured via paraffin infiltration method. The microstructure of the hot tearing zone of the casting was observed using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and the phase composition was analyzed using X-ray diffraction and energy depressive spectroscopy. The experimental results show that the solidification interval of AXJ530 alloy was shortened and the dendrite coherency temperature of the alloy decreased with the increase in frequency of alternating magnetic field. Under appropriate magnetic field parameters, the electromagnetic force could enhance the convection in the melt to promote the flow of the residual liquid phase, refine the microstructure, and optimize the feeding channel in the late solidification stage, which reduced the HTS of the alloy. However, when the magnetic field frequency was increased to 15 Hz, the induced current generated excessive Joule heat to the melt. At this time, the thermal action of the magnetic field coarsened the microstructure of the alloy, resulting in an increase in HTS of the alloy.
