RESUMEN
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) can work as temperature sensors to realize temperature measurement due to the excellent temperature sensitivity of their magnetization. This paper mainly reports on a performance optimization method of MNPs DC thermometry model. Firstly, by exploring the influencing factors of MNPs magnetization temperature sensitivity, it is found that the optimal excitation of the magnetic field to make the temperature sensitivity of MNPs reach their optimal value is, approximately, inversely proportional to the particle size of MNPs. Then, the temperature sensitivity of MNP magnetization is modulated by adding appropriate DC bias magnetic field in the original triangular wave excitation field, to optimize the original DC thermometry model based on MNP magnetization. The simulation results show that the temperature measurement performance of small-size MNPs can be significantly improved. In short, this paper optimizes the temperature measurement performance of the original DC thermometry model based on MNP magnetization and provides a new application idea for temperature measurement of small-size MNPs.
RESUMEN
Measurement is a key method to obtain information from the real world and is widely used in human life. A unified model of measurement systems is critical to the design and optimization of measurement systems. However, the existing models of measurement systems are too abstract. To a certain extent, this makes it difficult to have a clear overall understanding of measurement systems and how to implement information acquisition. Meanwhile, this also leads to limitations in the application of these models. Information entropy is a measure of information or uncertainty of a random variable and has strong representation ability. In this paper, an information entropy-based modeling method for measurement system is proposed. First, a modeling idea based on the viewpoint of information and uncertainty is described. Second, an entropy balance equation based on the chain rule for entropy is proposed for system modeling. Then, the entropy balance equation is used to establish the information entropy-based model of the measurement system. Finally, three cases of typical measurement units or processes are analyzed using the proposed method. Compared with the existing modeling approaches, the proposed method considers the modeling problem from the perspective of information and uncertainty. It focuses on the information loss of the measurand in the transmission process and the characterization of the specific role of the measurement unit. The proposed model can intuitively describe the processing and changes of information in the measurement system. It does not conflict with the existing models of the measurement system, but can complement the existing models of measurement systems, thus further enriching the existing measurement theory.
