Advanced radiation applications have been widely used and extended to many fields. As a result of this fact, choosing an appropriate shielding material based on the radiation application has become vital. In this regard, the integration of elements into polymer composites has been investigated and contributed to the quantity and quality of radiation shielding materials. This study reports photon attenuation parameters and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of a novel polymer composite prepared with a matrix reinforced with three different proportions (5, 10, and 15 wt%) of niobium content. Addition of Nb dopant improves both photon attenuation and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness for the investigated composites. Therefore, Nb(15%) polymer composite with highest concentration has been found to be the best absorber for ionizing and non-ionizing radiations. Consequently, the performed analyzes provide evidences that the prepared Nb-reinforced polymer composite could be effectively used as photon radiation attenuator and electromagnetic shielding material.

We report a theoretical research for the condition of electromagnetic shield breaching when a narrow aperture is punctured in thin metal film. To calculate electromagnetic field transmission through a narrow slit, a Rayleigh wave expansion has been applied for free standing, thin metal film. We found that the DC electric field allows perfect transmission when the length of the slit is infinite, regardless of the other geometrical factors such as slitwidth and thickness. Slitwidth dependent transmission spectra as a function of frequency shows a cutoff frequency that decreases almost linearly to the slitwidth, giving that almost successful shielding is only possible when the slitwidth is smaller than 1 micron.

As computer power increased, the system with complex phenomenon has been analyzed with the help of CAE software which can handle the coupled physics, such as electromagnetic, structure, thermal and fluid physics. To predict the electromagnetic repulsion force and the temperature distribution of an air circuit breaker with electric contact mechanism, ANSYS/EMAG, FLOTRAN can be used. Although some assumptions and simplifications were introduced to simulate the model, results from the computational model were in good agreement with actual measurements obtained from experiments.

The Geant4 simulation toolkit provides improved or renewed physics model according to the version. The latest Geant4.9.3 which has been recoded by developers applies inserted Livermore data and renewed physics model to the low energy electromagnetic physics model. And also, Geant4.9.3 improved the physics factors by modified code. In this study, the stopping power and CSDA(Continuously Slowing Down Approximation) range data of electron or particles were acquired in various material and then, these data were compared with NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology) data. Through comparison between data of Geant4 simulation and NIST, the improvement of physics model on low energy electromagnetic of Geant4.9.3 was evaluated by comparing the Geant4.9.2.

The turbulence in the nonlinear regime of the electromagnetic ion-cyclotron (EMIC) instability are investigated via a particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. EMIC instability arises from anisotropic ion temperature and excites the Alfven ion-cyclotron (AIC) waves. The excited AIC waves undergo inverse-cascade via the nonlinear wave interaction of two AIC and one ion density modes. Induced ion density modes are the normal and second harmonic ion-acoustic (IA) waves. They have the same group velocity, but the second harmonic IA mode only generates the longitudinal electric field.

This paper introduces a novel parallel shift operator finite-difference time-domain (SO-FDTD) method for plasma in the dispersive media. We calculate the interaction between the electromagnetic wave of various frequencies and non-magnetized plasma by using the parallel SO-FDTD method. Then, we compare the results，which are calculated with serial and parallel SO-FDTD executions to obtain the speedup ratio and validate the parallel execution. We conclude that the parallel SO method has almost the same precision as the serial SO method, while the parallel approach expands the scope of memory and reduces the CPU time.

In this paper, a method for multi-physics analysis of the temperature-dependent properties of an oil-immersed transformer is discussed. To couple thermal fields with electromagnetic and fluid fields, an algorithm employing a user defined function (UDF) is proposed. Using electromagnetic analysis, electric power loss dependent on temperature rise is calculated; these are used as input data for multi-physics analysis in order to predict the temperature rise. A heat transfer coefficient is applied only at the outermost boundary between transformer and the atmosphere in order to reduce the analysis region. To verify the validity of the proposed method, the predicted temperature rises in high-voltage (HV) and low-voltage (LV) windings and radiators were compared with the experimental values.

The purpose of this paper is to attract electrical and electronic engineering community's attention to electromagnetic nondestructive testing (NDT). Various electromagnetic NDT methods of detecting defects in materials are presented to help understand the underlying physics associated with these techniques. This understanding would provide a way to interpret the test signal to describe about the defect. In the meantime, the author hopes, one may realize how perfectly fit such a subject as electromagnetic NDT is to current curriculums of electrical and electronic engineering.

The absorption performance of a metal-backed single layered electromagnetic wave absorber is optimized at matching conditions of thickness and frequency indicating the maximum returns loss of incidence electromagnetic wave in the contour map. These matching conditions are obtained by applying the electromagnetic impedance to the transmission line theory, which depend on the complex permeability and complex permittivity of absorber material. The magnetic materials with high permeability can enhance the matching thickness condition to the wide frequency range based on the decrease of permeability with frequency and it can be used as a wideband electromagnetic wave absorber material. Therefore, the magnetic materials with higher saturation magnetization and lower permittivity than NiZn ferrite can be applied to the wideband electromagnetic wave absorber in order to satisfy the newly enforcing the electromagnetic compatibility regulation in the future.
