RESUMO
In this study, the use of an Unscented Kalman Filter as an indicator in predictive current control (PCC) for a wind energy conversion system (WECS) that employs a permanent magnetic synchronous generator (PMSG) and a superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system connected to the main power grid is presented. The suggested UKF indication in the hybrid WECS-SMES arrangement is in charge of estimating vital metrics such as stator currents, electromagnetic torque, rotor angle, and rotor angular speed. To optimize control strategies, PCCs use these projected properties rather than direct observations. To control the unpredictable wind energy's nature, SMES must be regulated to minimize fluctuations in the DC-link voltage and power output to the main grid. Fractional order-PI (FOPI) controllers are used in a novel control structure for the SMES system to regulate the output power and DC-link voltage. An artificial bee colony optimization approach is employed to optimize the FOPI controllers. Three commonly utilized indicators, including sliding-mode, EKF, and Luenberger, were evaluated using "MATLAB" to evaluate the performance of the UKF estimate. Assessment criteria such as mean absolute percentage error and root mean squared error were used to gauge the accuracy of the estimates. Simulation findings showed the efficiency of fractional order-PI controllers for SMES and the proposed UKF indication for predictive current control, especially in the presence of measurement noise and over a variety of wind speeds. An improvement in estimation accuracy of up to 99.9 % was demonstrated by the UKF indicator. Moreover, the stability of the suggested UKF-based PCC control for the hybrid WECS-SMES combination was confirmed using Lyapunov stability criteria."
RESUMO
The emerging all-van der Waals (vdW) magnetic heterostructure provides a new platform to control the magnetization by the electric field beyond the traditional spintronics devices. One promising strategy is using unconventional spin-orbit torque (SOT) exerted by the out-of-plane polarized spin current to enable deterministic magnetization switching and enhance the switching efficiency. However, in all-vdW heterostructures, large unconventional SOT remains elusive and the robustness of the field-free switching against external magnetic field has not been examined, which hinders further applications. Here, the study demonstrates the field-free switching in an all-vdW heterostructure combining a type-II Weyl semimetal TaIrTe4 and above-room-temperature ferromagnet Fe3GaTe2. The fully field-free switching can be achieved at 2.56 × 1010 A m-2 at 300 K and a large SOT effective field efficiency of the out-of-plane polarized spin current generated by TaIrTe4 is determined to be 0.37. Moreover, it is found that the switching polarity cannot be changed until the external in-plane magnetic field reaches 252 mT, indicating a robust switching against the magnetic field. The numerical simulation suggests the large unconventional SOT reduces the switching current density and enhances the robustness of the switching. The work shows that all-vdW heterostructures are promising candidates for future highly efficient and stable SOT-based devices.
RESUMO
Recycling the valuable metals found in spent permanent magnets (REPMs) poses a significant global challenge for the future. This study examines the efficiency of back extraction of rare earth elements (REEs) by oxalic acid solution from di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) in recycling REPMs. To evaluate the efficiency of this process, several experiments were carried out using designed BOX-Behnken methodology to investigate the effects of various operational and chemical parameters, including stripping solution to loaded organic phase volume ratio (in the range of 1.0-2.0), oxalic acid concentration (ranging from 0.25 to 0.75 M), the stirring rate (ranged between 150 and 350 rpm), and stripping time (ranging from 15 to 45 min) on the REEs recovery and the purity of final production. Analysis of variance was applied to rigorously examine the results statistically. The results showed that more than 85 % of light and 80 % of heavy REEs can be recovered under optimal conditions. Moreover, the final product contained 43.5 % REEs and approximately 0.1 % iron. The stripping experiment using phosphoric acid as the reagent demonstrated â¼57 % light and â¼4 % heavy REEs recovery. Additionally, the recyclability of the organic phase showed its effective reuse for up to four cycles. This study underscores significant progress in the selective recovery of rare earth elements through a relatively straightforward process consuming mild reagents.
RESUMO
Recent developments in the magnetization dynamics in spin textures, particularly skyrmions, offer promising new directions for magnetic storage technologies and spintronics. Skyrmions, characterized by their topological protection and efficient mobility at low current density, are increasingly recognized for their potential applications in next-generation logic and memory devices. This study investigates the dynamics of skyrmion magnetization, focusing on the manipulation of their topological states as a basis for bitwise data storage through a modified Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation (LLG). We introduce spin-polarized electrons from a topological ferromagnet that induce an electric dipole moment that interacts with the electric gauge field within the skyrmion domain. This interaction creates an effective magnetic field that results in a torque that can dynamically change the topological state of the skyrmion. In particular, we show that these torques can selectively destroy and create skyrmions, effectively writing and erasing bits, highlighting the potential of using controlled electron injection for robust and scalable skyrmion-based data storage solutions.
RESUMO
Boron (B) is a crucial element for efficient plant growth and development; therefore, B-based fertilisers have been employed in agricultural applications. The need for B-based fertilisers for agricultural uses is continuously increasing as a result of the world's growing population. It is expected that the global market for B-based fertiliser will grow by around $6.3 billion by 2032; hence, demand for B sources will also increase. In addition to being used in fertiliser, B is also employed in the production of neodymium iron B (NdFeB) permanent magnets. The demand for NdFeB magnets is also continuously increasing. Hence, it is of the utmost importance to reclaim B from secondary resources due to the rising demand for B in a wide variety of applications. This review study addresses the recovery of B from various waste streams. The main focus is on the recovery of B from spent NdFeB magnets, borax sludge, and liquid streams such as brine water, seawater, sewage, industrial wastewater, and agricultural effluents. Different technologies for B recovery are discussed, such as sorption, solvent extraction, membrane processes, precipitation, and hydrometallurgical methods. Solvent extraction has been found to be a very effective approach for reclaiming B from spent NdFeB magnet waste and from liquid streams with high B concentration (>1-2 g/L). Further, the application of B-based fertiliser in agriculture application is reviewed. Challenges associated with B recovery from waste streams and future perspectives are also highlighted in this review.

With the increasing demand for Nd-Fe-B magnets across various applications, the cost-effective substitution of Ce has garnered significant interest. Many studies have been conducted to achieve the high magnetic properties of Nd-Ce-Fe-B hot deformation magnets in which Nd is replaced with Ce. We propose a method to improve magnetic properties of the Ce-substituted Nd-Ce-Fe-B hot-deformed magnets by optimizing the hot-pressing process. This study investigates the microstructure and properties following hot deformation of Ce-substituted Nd-Ce-Fe-B magnets fabricated at a constant temperature and different pressures (100-300 MPa) during the hot-pressing process. The results highlight the influence of pressure from previous hot-pressing processes on grain alignment and microstructure during hot deformation. Magnets subjected to hot pressing at 200 MPa followed by hot deformation achieved superior magnetic properties, with Hci = 8.9 kOe, Br = 12.2 kG, and (BH)max = 31 MGOe with 40% of Nd replaced with Ce. Conversely, precursors prepared at 100 MPa exhibited low density due to high porosity, resulting in poor microstructure and magnetic properties after hot deformation. In magnets using precursors prepared at 300 MPa, coarsened grains and a condensed h-RE2O3 phase were observed. Incorporating Ce into the magnets led to insufficient formation of RE-rich phases due to the emergence of REFe2 secondary phases, disrupting grain alignment and hindering the homogeneous distribution of the RE-rich phase essential for texture formation. Precursors prepared under suitable pressure exhibited uniform distribution of the RE-rich phase, enhancing grain alignment along the c-axis and improving magnetic properties, particularly remanence. In conclusion, our findings present a strategy for achieving the ideal microstructure and magnetic properties of hot-deformed magnets with high Ce contents.
RESUMO
The oxidation of tetraselenatetracene (TSeT) by tetracyanoquinodimethane in the presence of dysprosium(III) tris(hexafluoroacetylacetonate), DyIII(hfac)3, produces black crystals of {TSeT1.5}â+[DyIII(hfac)4]- (1) salt, which combines conducting and magnetic sublattices. It contains one-dimensional stacks composed of partially oxidized TSeT molecules (formal averaged charge is +2/3). Dimers and monomers can be outlined within these stacks with charge and spin density redistribution. The spin triplet state of the dimers is populated above 128 K with an estimated singlet-triplet energy gap of 542 K, whereas spins localized on the monomers show paramagnetic behavior. A semiconducting behavior is observed for 1 with the activation energy of 91 meV (measured by the four-probe technique for an oriented single crystal). The DyIII ions coordinate four hfac- anions in [DyIII(hfac)4]-, providing D2d symmetry. Slow magnetic relaxation is observed for DyIII under an applied static magnetic field of 1000 Oe, and 1 is a single-ion magnet (SIM) with spin reversal barrier Ueff = 40.2 K and magnetic hysteresis at 2 K. Contributions from DyIII and TSeTâ+ paramagnetic species are seen in EPR. The DyIII ion rarely manifests EPR signals, but such signal is observed in 1. It appears due to narrowing below 30 K and has g4 = 6.1871 and g5 = 2.1778 at 5.4 K.

This research paper introduces the Double Stator (DS) Hybrid Excitation (HE) Halbach Permanent Magnet (HPM) Flux Switching (FS) machine. The machine construction and its optimization specifically designed for electric vehicle (EV)/hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) traction applications are investigated. The optimization using a multi-objective Genetic Algorithm is conducted following a sensitivity analysis-based identification of key optimization parameters and constraints. The finite element results are compared with the performance of a state-of-the-art benchmark FSPM machine having identical PM volume and winding current densities. The proposed design is shown to outperform the benchmark with 16.2% increase in back-electromotive force and 14.7% reduction in cogging torque. Furthermore, the average torque is improved at flux-enhancing operation by 20.8%, and the torque ripple is reduced by 9.9%. Notably, the proposed machine also is capable of flux regulation thereby having the ability to operate in a wide speed range. A detailed explanation of the reasons for the significant improvements in the proposed machine structure is provided to offer a comprehensive understanding of its rationale. These research findings indicate that this innovative DS-HE-HPM-FS machine can enhance the performance of EVs and HEVs.
RESUMO
Multifunctional vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN) thin films exhibit considerable potential in diverse fields. Here, a BaTiO3-FeCoNi alloy (BTO-FCN) system featuring an ultrathin ternary FCN alloy nanopillar array embedded in the BTO matrix has been developed with tailorable nanopillar size and interpillar distance. The magnetic alloy nanopillars combined with a ferroelectric oxide matrix present intriguing multifunctionality and coupling properties. The room-temperature magnetic response proves the soft magnet nature of the BTO-FCN films with magnetic anisotropy has been demonstrated. Furthermore, the anisotropic nature of the dielectric-metal alloy VAN renders it an ideal candidate for hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM), and the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) wavelength, where the real part of permittivity (ε') turns to negative, can be tailored from â¼700 nm to â¼1050 nm. Lastly, room-temperature multiferroicity has been demonstrated via interfacial coupling between the magnetic nanopillars and ferroelectric matrix.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Uncomplicated surgical approaches that minimize anastomotic complications while improving revisional metabolic/bariatric surgical (MBS) outcomes are needed. METHODS: This prospective single-center study assessed the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of the novel linear magnetic anastomosis system (LMAS [3 cm]) in performing a side-to-side duodeno-ileostomy (MagDI) bipartition to revise clinically suboptimal primary sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Patients with severe obesity with/without type 2 diabetes (T2D) with suboptimal weight loss, regain, and/or T2D recurrence post SG underwent revisional MagDI. A distal and proximal magnet were delivered endoscopically to the ileum and duodenum and aligned via laparoscopic assistance. Gradual magnet fusion formed a DI bipartition. PRIMARY ENDPOINTS: technical feasibility, safety (Clavien-Dindo [CD] severe adverse event classification) at 1 year. Secondary endpoints: MBS weight and T2D reduction. RESULTS: July 29, 2022-March 28, 2023, 24 patients (95.8% female, mean age 44.9 ± 1.5 years, and body mass index [BMI] 39.4 ± 1.3 kg/m2) underwent MagDI. Feasibility was attained via correct magnet placement (mean operative time 63.5 ± 3.3 min), patent anastomoses created, and magnet passage per anus in 100.0% of patients. There were 4 CD-III mild or moderate severe AEs, 0.0% associated with the LMAS or MagDI: 0.0% anastomotic leakage, obstruction, bleeding, infection, reintervention, or death. Mean BMI reduction was 2.1 kg/m2 (p < 0.05); total weight loss 5.3%, excess weight loss 16.4%; and the patient with T2D improved. CONCLUSION: The single-anastomosis MagDI procedure using the novel 3-cm LMAS to revise clinically suboptimal SG was technically straightforward, incurred no major complications, mitigated weight regain, and renewed clinically meaningful weight loss. GOV IDENTIFIER: NCT05322122.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The partial diversion of intestinal contents facilitates achieving and maintaining weight loss and improving glycemic control in patients with obesity and with or without T2DM. The purpose of this study is to report our experience and 1-year follow-up with novel modification of SADI-S. METHODS: This study is a part of a multicentric trial of patients that underwent primary side-to-side duodeno-ileostomy and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) with GT metabolic solutions magnetic anastomosis system. Feasibility, safety, and initial efficacy were evaluated. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients included was 48 ± 8.75 years and the preoperative BMI was 43.32 ± 2.82 kg/m2. The complications were present in 30% of patients. The anastomosis patency was confirmed by the passage of radiological contrast under fluoroscopy at a mean of 17 days (17-29 days), and the mean expulsion time was 42 days (32-62). The mean diameter of the anastomosis after the magnet expulsion was 13.8 × 11.4 mm. The percentage of total weight lost at 1 year was 38.68 ± 8.48% (p < 0.001). The percentage of excess weight loss 82.5 ± 18.44% (p < 0.001) and improvements in glucose profiles were observed. Mean baseline HbA1c 5.77 ± 0.31% was reduced to 5.31 ± 0.26% (p < 0.024). CONCLUSIONS: Latero-lateral duodeno-ileostomy + SG with magnetic duodenal bipartition is afeasible and reasonably safe technique and induces weight loss in patients with obesity and improvement of glycemic control. This modification could be considered as an option to standard SADI-S or as a first step in two stages procedure. However, larger studies are needed. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: #NCT05322122.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: The number of postanesthesia care unit (PACU) registered nurses (RNs) with a specialty nursing certification at an orthopedic hospital in an academic health system was below the organizational benchmark. A clinical nurse-led process was developed to increase the percentage of PACU RNs with a specialty certification. This article will describe the strategies and interventions identified to support, reward, and recognize nurses who obtain or maintain their specialty certifications. DESIGN: A performance improvement project using the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle. METHODS: A gap analysis identified barriers preventing PACU nurses from obtaining specialty certifications in an orthopedic acute care American Nurses Credentialing Center Magnet-designated hospital. An anonymous web-based survey was distributed to 18 nurses who, although eligible, were not certified. The survey assessed common barriers to certification (eg, cost of the examination, comfort level with the testing process, level of access to review courses and study materials, expense to maintain credentials, personal interest in certification, and awareness of qualification information to take the exam). The project team included PACU nurse leaders, certified clinical nurses, nursing professional development specialists, and other interdisciplinary team members (eg, content experts from different departments). FINDINGS: Eighteen RNs completed the anonymous survey. The leading barrier was the expense of the certification exam (73%), while 66% of respondents reported discomfort with the test-taking process. Additionally, 61% of nurses reported that more access to review courses and study materials is needed, 44% responded that the expense of maintaining credentials is a barrier, 39% responded that the additional compensation pay for a specialty certification was considered to be insufficient, 39% agreed there is a lack of information on eligibility criteria, and 6% responded that they have no interest or desire to become certified. The survey results informed implementation strategies to increase certification rates, including initiating peer-to-peer exam groups and ongoing collaboration with nurse leaders on reward and recognition strategies. The removal of known barriers to obtaining specialty certification significantly increased certification rates in the PACU. Over the project period, the percentage of PACU-certified nurses increased to 60%, exceeding the project goal of 51%. CONCLUSIONS: Peer-to-peer education and collaboration with nursing leadership and other interdisciplinary team members helped increase PACU's certification rates in this orthopedic specialty hospital. The informational and recognition strategies were impactful, resulting in additional nurses interested in becoming certified. Newly certified nurses are now motivating others to seek certification. Based on this well-established support system, the PACU certification rate is anticipated to continue to rise.
RESUMO
Magnetic skyrmions are topologically nontrivial spin configurations that possess particle-like properties. Earlier research has mainly focused on a specific type of skyrmion with topological charge Q = -1. However, theoretical analyses of 2D chiral magnets have predicted the existence of skyrmion bags-solitons with arbitrary positive or negative topological charge. Although such spin textures are metastable states, recent experimental observations have confirmed the stability of isolated skyrmion bags in a limited range of applied magnetic fields. Here, by utilizing Lorentz transmission electron microscopy, the extraordinary stability of skyrmion bags in thin plates of B20-type FeGe is shown. In particular, it is shown that skyrmion bags embedded within a skyrmion lattice remain stable even in zero or inverted external magnetic fields. A robust protocol for nucleating such embedded skyrmion bags is provided. The results agree perfectly with micromagnetic simulations and establish thin plates of cubic chiral magnets as a powerful platform for exploring a broad spectrum of topological magnetic solitons.
RESUMO
A fuzzy coefficient q-axis current increment flux weakening (FCCIFW) control method is proposed in interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drives. The proposed FCCIFW not only simplifies the calculation of flux weakening coefficient according to the derived formula, but also avoids the saturation of current regulator. In FCCIFW, the theoretical calculation formula of conversion coefficient is derived firstly, and then the fuzzy rule base is established according to the formula. FCCIFW not only refrains the use of complex flux weakening calculation formula or fixed control parameters, but also refrains the problem of out-of-control in the process of deep flux weakening control, so as to improve the overall performance in the process of flux weakening. The results show that the proposed method has an effective and correct calculation process and results, Compared with different control methods in the operation process, it shows that the proposed method has more stable control effect, which has great application value in engineering.
RESUMO
Magnetic semiconductors, with integrated properties of ferromagnets and semiconductors, are significant for developing next-generation spintronic devices. Herein two atomically precise clusters of dysprosium(III) tellurides, formulated respectively as [Na2(15-crown-5)3(py)][(η5-Cp*Dy)5(Te)6](py)4 (Dy5Te6, Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl; py = pyridine) and [K(2,2,2-cryptand)]2[(η5-Cp*Dy)6(Te3)(Te2)2(Te)3] (Dy6Te10), are reported. Crystallographic studies revealed the presence of multifarious tellurido ligands within the polyhedral cluster cores. Spectroscopic and magnetic studies showed that both clusters are single-molecule magnets exhibiting slow magnetic relaxation behaviors at low temperatures and semiconductors with optical bandgaps comparable to benchmark semiconductors. These clusters represent probably the first lanthanide-based molecular magnetic semiconductors.
RESUMO
The "5 gauss line" is a phrase that is likely to be familiar to everyone working with MRI, but what is its significance, how was it defined, and what changes are currently in progress? This review explores the history of 5 gauss (0.5 mT) as a threshold for protecting against inadvertently putting cardiac pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, and other active implantable medical devices into a "magnet mode." Additionally, it describes the background to the recent change of this threshold to 9 gauss (0.9 mT) in the International Standard IEC 60601-2-33 edition 4.0 that defines basic safety requirements for MRI. Practical implications of this change and some ongoing and emerging issues are also discussed.
RESUMO
The more effective use of readily available Ce in FeNdB sintered magnets is an important step towards more resource-efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective permanent magnets. These magnets have the potential to bridge the gap between high-performance FeNdB and hard ferrite magnets. However, for higher degrees of cerium substitution (>25%), the magnetic properties deteriorate due to the lower intrinsic magnetic properties of Fe14Ce2B and the formation of the Laves phase Fe2Ce in the grain boundaries. In this paper, sintered magnets with the composition Fe70.9-(CexNd1-x)18.8-B5.8-M4.5 (M = Co, Ti, Al, Ga, and Cu; with Ti, Al, Ga, and Cu less than 2.0 at% in total and Cobal; x = 0.5 and 0.75) were fabricated and analyzed. It was possible to obtain coercive fields for higher degrees of Ce substitution, which previous commercially available magnets have only shown for significantly lower degrees of Ce substitution. For x = 0.5, coercivity, remanence, and maximum energy product of µ0Hc = 1.29 T (Hc = 1026 kA/m), Jr = 1.02 T, and (BH)max = 176.5 kJ/m3 were achieved at room temperature for x = 0.75 µ0Hc = 0.72 T (Hc = 573 kA/m), Jr = 0.80 T, and (BH)max = 114.5 kJ/m3, respectively.
RESUMO
This study introduces a novel approach for investigating hot-deformed NdFeB magnets by combining the minimal stress deformation process (MSDP) with the design of experiment (DoE) methodology. This study focused on enhancing the crystallographic alignment, particularly the c-axis alignment of the Nd2Fe14B grains, to optimize the magnetic properties. By utilizing the Box-Behnken design matrix and response surface regression, critical processes and variables were identified, determining that a hot-pressing temperature of 700 °C is crucial for achieving optimal grain alignment. Changing the strain rate to 0.019 mm/s under a stress of 110 MPa led to significant enhancements in the alignment, yielding magnets with a remanence of approximately 13.4 kG and a coercivity of 21 kOe. These findings highlight the effectiveness of combining the MSDP and DoE for predicting and achieving improved magnetic properties. Despite the challenges associated with understanding the complexity of crystal alignment mechanisms, this integrated approach successfully improved magnetic characteristics. The methodology represents a significant advancement in the fabrication of high-performance hot-deformed NdFeB magnets, marking a notable contribution to the field.

Two enantiomeric pairs of new 3d-4f heterometallic clusters have been synthesized from two enantiomer Schiff base derivatives: (R/S)-2-[(2-hydroxy-1-phenylethylimino)methyl] phenol (R-/S-H2L). The formulae of the series clusters are Co3Ln(R-L)6 (Ln = Dy (1R), Gd (2R)), Co3Ln (S-L)6 (Ln = Dy (1S), Gd (2S)), whose crystal structures and magnetic properties have been characterized. Structural analysis indicated that the above clusters crystallize in the chiral P213 group space. The central lanthanide ion has a coordination geometry of D3 surrounded by three [CoIII(L)2]- anions using six aliphatic oxygen atoms of L2- featuring a star-shaped [CoIII3LnIII] configuration. Magnetic measurements showed the presence of slow magnetic relaxation with an effective energy barrier of 22.33 K in the DyIII derivatives under a zero-dc field. Furthermore, the circular dichroism (CD) spectra of 1R and 1S confirmed their enantiomeric nature.
