Magnetization reversal process and nonlinear magneto-impedance in Cu/NiFe and Nb/NiFe composite wires
The magnetization reversal of Cu/NiFe and Nb/NiFe composite wires carrying AC
current is studied. The frequency spectrum of a voltage induced in a pick-up
coil wound around the wire is analyzed. The frequency spectrum is shown to
consist of even harmonics within a wide range of AC current amplitudes and
longitudinal DC magnetic fields. The strong dependencies of the harmonic
amplitudes on the DC field are found. The results obtained may be of importance
for the design of weak magnetic field sensors.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, publishe
Current distribution and giant magnetoimpedance in composite wires with helical magnetic anisotropy
The giant magnetoimpedance effect in composite wires consising of a
non-magnetic inner core and soft magnetic shell is studied theoretically. It is
assumed that the magnetic shell has a helical anisotropy. The current and field
distributions in the composite wire are found by means of a simultaneous
solution of Maxwell equations and the Landau-Lifshitz equation. The expressions
for the diagonal and off-diagonal impedance are obtained for low and high
frequencies. The dependences of the impedance on the anisotropy axis angle and
the shell thickness are analyzed. Maximum field sensitivity is shown to
correspond to the case of the circular anisotropy in the magnetic shell. It is
demonstrated that the optimum shell thickness to obtain maximum impedance ratio
is equal to the effective skin depth in the mahnetic material.Comment: 23 pages, 7 figure
Cosmic microwave background and parametric resonance in reheating
The variation of the perturbative 3-curvature parameter, \zeta, is
investigated in the period of reheating after inflation. The two-field model
used has the inflaton, with an extra scalar field coupled to it, and non-linear
effects of both fields are included as well as a slow decay mechanism into the
hydrodynamic fluid of the radiation era. Changes in \zeta occur and persist
into the succeeding cosmic eras to influence the generation of the cosmic
microwave background fluctuations.Comment: 21 pages, 6 figures.Corrects misprinted formula and 2 number
A review on frequency support provision by wind power plants : current and future challenges
The continuing increase of wind energy penetration into power systems, in combination with the retirement of conventional generation, raises new challenges for the maintenance of power system stability. This paper presents a comprehensive review of wind power plant capabilities to provide frequency support and the corresponding methods available in the published literature are thoroughly analysed and compared. The topic is covered from different perspectives giving a comprehensive overview on the work carried out in this field. In addition, the integration of energy storage technologies and dispatching of wind farms during frequency deviations are thoroughly discussed. Finally, technical challenges, future research lines and general recommendations are provided
