This paper introduces two types of magnetization, and reports the effect of the magnetization direction on the iron loss in a brushless DC (BLDC) motor using a 2-D time-stepped voltage source finite-element method (FEM). The iron losses were found to consist of hysteresis and eddy current loss, which were calculated from the time variation of the magnetic field distribution. To confirm the analysis, a prototype BLDC motor was constructed with a sintered ferrite magnet. The analysis and experimental results suggest that the magnetization direction has a significant effect in terms of the iron loss characteristics of the BLDC motor.

The observed high-field magnetization curves of $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}N_{3.0}$ at 4.2 K and 296 K are well reproduced by the calculation using the Sm-Fe exchange field $2\mu\textrm{B}H_{ex}\;=\;320\;K$ and two crystalline electric field parameters ${A_{0}}^{2}=\;-910\;K$ and ${A_{1}}^{0}=\;200\;K$. The calculation shows that during the magnetization process along the hard axis at 4.2 K, the Sm moment rotates toward the direction antiparallel to H when H < 110 kOe and then returns to the field direction with further increase of the field. At 296 K, the Sm moment rotates toward the direction antiparallel to H monotonously with increasing field and finally becomes antiparallel to H when $H{\geq}H_{A}=210\;kOe$. The particular magnetization process of the Sm moment can be explained by the field-induced noncollinear coupling between the spin and orbital moments of the Sm ion.

In many cases, ferrite magnets of ferrite bonded magnets used in inner-rotor type small brushless DC(BLDC) motors do not have rotor core. The magnetization directions of permanent magnets do not have only parallel or radial direction. In this case, the characteristics of magnets are different from cored type ones which have uniform magnetization direction. In this paper, the magnetization directions and intensities of a ferrite magnet and a ferrite bonded magnet are analyzed by finite element analysis for magnetization procedure. The characteristics of inner-rotor type BLDC motor are analyzed by using the analyzed results. The validity of the method is verified by comparing the analyzed results with measured ones.

The magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) and the saturation magnetization $B_s$ of (110) $Fe_nCo_n$ heterostructures with n = 1, 2, and 3 are investigated in first-principles within the density functional theory by using the precise full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method. We compare the results employing two different exchange correlation potentials, that is, the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), and include the spin-orbit coupling interaction of the valence states in the second variational way. The MAE is found to be enhanced significantly compared to those of bulk Fe and Co and the magnetic easy axis is in-plane in agreement with experiment. Also the MAE exhibits the in-plane angle dependence with a two-fold anisotropy showing that the $[1{\overline{I}}0]$ direction is the most favored spin direction. We found that as the periodicity increases, (i) the saturation magnetization $B_s$ decreases due to the reduced magnetic moment of Fe far from the interface, (ii) the strength of in-plane preference of spin direction increases yielding enhancement of MAE, and (iii) the volume anisotropy coefficient decreases because the volume increase outdo the MAE enhancement.

In this study, we investigated whether the anhysteretic demagnetization process would be applicable to remove a complicated magnetization of a steel tube as a part of the experimental earlier study for a deperming of naval vessel. The magnetic tube used in this study was a 10cm-long and 1cm-diameter steel tube, and magnetized with a E-shape ferrite core to form a nonuniform magnetization in it. In the anhysteretic demagnetization process, a dc magnetic field applied along the longitudinal direction of the tube decreased from ${\pm}$3kA/m to zero-field with the step of ${\pm}$300A/m. At the same time, an ac bias magnetic field with the frequency of 60Hz and the field intensity of 300A/m was excited along the circumstantial direction of the tube. It was found that the anhysteretic process was useful to demagnetize a small-object like a steel tube from the experimental results showing the residual magnetization reduced over 90%.

We measured in-plane 2 dimensional magnetization vector using two pick-up coil sets and investigate the relationship between magnetization vector and anisotropic magnetoresistance. We can determine magnetization vector by measuring magnetic moment in x and y direction simultaneously. As the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy of permalloy film increases, magnetoresistance approaches the expectation which is calculated from the angle between current vector and magnetization vector. Magnetoresistance ratio is linearly proportional to the y moment magnitude which is parallel to the current direction.

Magnetization loss of high temperature superconductoring BSCCO tape and YBCO coated conductor(YBCO CC) is most important issue in the development of superconducting power devices. In this paper, the measured results of magnetization losses in BSCCO tape and YBCO CC are presented and compared with each other. Measurements of magnetization losses are performed under various angles of external magnetic field to consider the anisotropic characteristics of YBCO CC. Also, we present the compared results of magnetization losses measured at arbitrary directional magnetic fields and analyzed with perpendicular magnetic field components of those. The results show that magnetization loss of YBCO CC agree well with the analyzed value by it's perpendicular magnetic field component, but BSCCO tape is not.

The switching characteristics and the magnetization-flop behavior in magnetic tunnel junctions exchange biased by synthetic antiferromagnets (SyAFs) are investigated by using a computer simulations based on a single-domain multilayer model. The bias field acting on the free layer is found to be sensitive to the thickness of neighboring layers, and the thickness dependence of the bias field is greater at smaller cell dimensions due to larger magnetostatic interactions. The resistance to magnetization flop increases with decreasing cell size due to increased shape anisotropy. When the cell dimensions are small and the synthetic antiferromagnet is weakly, or not pinned, the magnetization directions of the two layers sandwiching the insulating layer are aligned antiparallel due to a strong magnetostatic interaction, resulting in an abnormal magneto resistance (MR) change from the high-MR state to zero, irrespective of the direction of the free-layer switching. The threshold field for magnetization-flop is found to increase linearly with increasing antiferromagnetic exchange coupling in the synthetic antiferromagnet. Irrespective of the magnetic parameters and cell sizes, magnetization flop does not exist near zero applied field, indicating that magnetization flop is driven by the Zeeman energy.

Magnetoresistance and Planar Hall effect of Glass/Ni$\sub$83/Fe$\sub$17/(2 nm)/[Cu(2 nm)Ni$\sub$83/Fe$\sub$17/(20 nm)]$\sub$50/ multilayer were measured. Repeated saw tooth like planar Hall effect signal was observed in the range of magnetization reversal process, while no sign of such saw tooth was observed in Magnetoresistance diagram. For the reason of saw tooth like signal, it is supposed that subsequent abrupt domain wall motion of each magnetic layer in the process of magnetization reversal process was observed in planar Hall effect in transverse direction to the current direction. This fine structure of planar Hall effect was observed for applied fields in any direction. Magnetoresistance curve did not show this fine structure of magnetization reversal, of course, since only net magnetization of each layer has to do with the resistivity. Extended research on the reason of this sawtooth like signal should be conducted.

This paper presents finite element analysis algorithm combined with vector hysteresis model for accurate analysis of the hysteresis motor. Magnetization-dependent vector model is adapted to calculate the vector magnetization. That is to say, from the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field intensity, the magnetization of each ring element is computed by the vector model. By comparing the simulation results with the experimental ones, it is found that good results are obtained.
