Ferromagnetic microdisks as carriers for biomedical applications

Abstract: We report the fabrication process, magnetic behavior, as well as the surface modification of ferromagnetic microdisks suspended in aqueous solution. They posses unique properties such as high magnetization of saturation, zero remanence due to spin vortex formation, intrinsic spin resonance at low frequencies, and the capability of delivering various biomolecules at once. Furthermore, because of their anisotropic shape, our magnetic particles rotate under alternating magnetic fields of small amplitude. This can be used to promote the idea of advanced therapies, which include combined drug delivery and magnetomechanical cell destruction when targeting tumor cells. The approach enables us to fabricate suitable magnetic carriers with excellent size tolerances, and then release them from the wafer into solution, ready for surface modification and therapeutic use. The particles have a magnetic core and are covered with few nanometers of gold on each side to provide stability at ambient conditions as well as biocompatibility and selective adhesion functions. A successful attempt to bind thiolates, including SH-modified antibody, to the disk’s surface was demonstrated.

Magnetic deflectors and charged-particle-beam lithography systems incorporating same

Abstract: Magnetic deflectors for charged particle beams are provided. The magnetic deflectors comprise at least one pair of coils to provide high deflection sensitivity over large regions of uniform deflection without increasing the size of the magnetic core used by the deflectors. Charged-particle-beam lithography systems using such deflectors are also disclosed.

3D magnetic field analysis using special elements

Abstract: Three-dimensional special elements, called the gap element, the expanding element, and the shielding element, have been conceived for discretizing narrow gaps in an iron core, the long legs of a transformer core, and thin shielding plates. The concept of the 3D special element and its finite-element formulation are described. The special elements are applied to several models, and the effects of the elements on accuracy and CPU time are discussed. It is shown that CPU time can be reduced by using the special elements. >

Analysis of planar sandwich inductors by current images

Abstract: Inductors with spiral windings sandwiched between top- and bottom-plane thick magnetic plates are investigated theoretically using the method of current images. Expressions are obtained for the inductances, and magnetic fields of these planar structures assuming infinite plane thicknesses. The dependence of the inductance on the permeability and the distances between the spiral windings and the top and bottom plates is studied by numerically evaluating the inductance expressions. It is shown that, except for some limiting cases, the inductance depends only on the net distance between the top and bottom magnetic plates and is independent of the position of the spiral windings within the gap. Furthermore, it is found that, in contrast to open planar structures, the sandwich inductor can yield large values of inductances with the enhancement over air-core values limited only by the permeability of the magnetic plates. Numerical evaluation of the formulas for magnetic fields both inside the magnetic plates and in the gap are used to calculate energy density variation in the device, to estimate lateral dimensions of these sandwich inductors, to discuss construction of multiple devices in a single-sandwich structure, and to discuss calculation of losses in the sandwich inductors. >

CCTT-Core Split-Winding Integrated Magnetic for High-Power DC–DC Converters

Abstract: A novel CCTT-core split-winding integrated magnetic (IM) structure is presented in this paper. The IM device is optimized for use in high-power dc–dc converters. The IM structure uses a split-winding configuration which allows for the reduction of external leakage inductance, which is a problem for many IM designs. Magnetic poles are incorporated to help shape and contain the leakage flux within the core window. Low-cost and low-power loss ferrite is used which results in a very efficient design. An IM reluctance model is developed which uses fringing equations to develop a more accurate design. An IM design algorithm is developed and implemented in Mathematica for design and optimization. FEA and experimental results from a 72 kW, (155-V dc, 465-A dc input, and 420-V dc output) prototype validate the new IM concept. The 72 kW CCTT- core IM was shown to be 99.7% efficient at full load.
