The phase propagation in superconducting aluminum has been studied by measuring the time rate of change of ultrasonic attenuation. The time taken for the destruction of the superconducting phase in a cylindrical specimen, by means of a magnetic field, H, greater than the critical field, Hc, is approximately proportional to{H/(H–Hc)} in agreement with eddy-current theory. In the converse case, where the superconducting phase is restored by switching off the magnetic field H (>Hc), the total time taken is nearly independent of the temperature (or Hc) as well as H. The superconducting phase grows at a non-uniform volume rate which is considerably less than the uniform rate of collapse.

The Magnetic Field

The traditional sensor used in transient electromagnetic (EM) systems is an induction coil. This sensor measures a voltage response proportional to the time rate of change of the magnetic field in the EM bandwidth. By simply integrating the digitized output voltage from the induction coil, it is possible to obtain an indirect measurement of the magnetic field in the same bandwidth. The simple integration methodology is validated by showing that there is good agreement between synthetic voltage data integrated to a magnetic field and synthetic magnetic‐field data calculated directly. Further experimental work compares induction‐coil magnetic‐field data collected along a profile with data measured using a SQUID magnetometer. These two electromagnetic profiles look similar, and a comparison of the decay curves at a critical point on the profile shows that the two types of measurements agree within the bounds of experimental error. Comparison of measured voltage and magnetic‐field data show that the two sets of profiles have quite different characteristics. The magnetic‐field data is better for identifying, discriminating, and interpreting good conductors, while suppressing the less conductive targets. An induction coil is therefore a suitable sensor for the indirect collection of EM magnetic‐field data.

The quantitative evaluation of defects in eddy current testing is of great significance. Impedance analysis, as a traditional method, is adopted to determine defects in the conductor, however, it is not able to depict the shape, size and location of defects quantitatively. In order to obtain more obvious characteristic quantities and improve the ability of eddy current testing to detect defects, the study of cracks in metal pipes is carried out by utilizing the analysis method of three-dimensional magnetic field in present paper. The magnetic field components in the space near the crack are calculated numerically by using finite element analysis. The simulation results confirm that the monitoring of the crack change can be achieved by measuring the magnetic field at the arrangement positions. Besides, the quantitative relationships between the shape, length of the crack and the magnetic field components around the metal pipe are obtained. The results show that the axial and radial magnetic induction intensities are affected more significantly by the cross-section area of the crack. Bz demonstrates obvious advantages in analyzing quantitatively crack circumference length. Therefore, the response signal in the three-dimensional direction of the magnetic field gets to intuitively reflect the change of the defect parameter, which proves the effectiveness and practicability of this method.

This paper describes the design of a Through Silicon Via based high density 3D inductors for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. We present some possible challenges for TSV-based inductors in IoT applications. The current trend towards Internet of Things (IOT), System in Package (SiP) and Package-on-Package (PoP) requires meeting the power requirements of heterogeneous technologies while maintaining minimum package size. 3-D chip stacking has emerged as one of the potential solutions due to its high density integration in a 3D power electronics packaging regime. As an integral part of many power electronics applications, TSV-based inductors are becoming a popular choice because of their high inductance density due to the reduced on-chip footprint compared to conventional planar inductors. Depending on the requirement, values of these inductors could range from a few nanohenries to hundreds of microhenries. Small inductors with a high quality factor are mainly used for RF filter applications, whereas large inductors are used in power electronics packaging. For high inductance it is necessary to use ferromagnetic materials. A conventional ferromagnetic metal core like nickel could offer high permeability, which can help to boost the inductance. However, the magnetic field lines within a metal core induce eddy current which can have multiple adverse effect in power electronics packaging. For example, it has long been known that the current can increase the resistance in transformer winding [1]. Eddy current can also heat up the core of the inductor which makes the heat sink process in 3D packaging even more challenging. One way to decrease the eddy current, is to pattern and laminate the core block into multiple segments orthogonal to the direction of the magnetic field line [2]. Another method is to increase the resistivity of the core material so that the eddy current is limited to a very small magnitude [3].

AbstractMagnetic field-induced superconductivity is a fascinating quantum phenomenon, whose origin is yet to be fully understood. The recently discovered spin-triplet superconductor, UTe2, exhibits two such superconducting phases, with the second one reentering in the magnetic field of 45 T and persisting up to 65 T. More surprisingly, in order to induce this superconducting phase, the magnetic field has to be applied in a special angle range, not along any high symmetry crystalline direction. Here we investigated the evolution of this high-field-induced superconducting phase under pressure. Two superconducting phases merge together under pressure, and the zero resistance persists up to 45 T, the field limit of the current study. We also reveal that the high-field-induced superconducting phase is completely decoupled from the first-order field-polarized phase transition, different from the previously known example of field-induced superconductivity in URhGe, indicating superconductivity boosted by a different paring mechanism.

The Magnetic Field

A new method has been developed for obtaining relative values of the surface energy parameter, Δ, in superconductors. It involves the measurement of the resistance of thin films subjected to a transverse magnetic field. The method has been applied to tin, indium and aluminium and to dilute alloys of the first two. The principal new results are that Δ is 1⋅48 times larger in indium than in tin and that the addition of impurity to either metal lowers Δ without changing the nature of its temperature dependence. These conclusions are compared with current theories of the interphase surface energy. An attempt has been made to deduce the absolute magnitude of Δ, which requires a detailed analysis of the way in which the last traces of the superconducting phase are eliminated from the film by the action of the magnetic field. The analysis is necessarily over-simplified but it does give a figure for Δ in pure tin which is reasonably consistent with the previous estimates of Faber and Sharvin.

Phase Propagation

Detailed measurements have been made of the rate at which the superconducting phase collapses radially in cylindrical rods of tin, when they are suddenly subjected to a magnetic field greater than the critical. This is probably the simplest example of phase propagation in superconductors. The results in most respects confirm the theory of Pippard (1950 a ) and Lifshitz (1950), according to which the propagation is controlled by an electromagnetic damping associated with the setting up of eddy currents. This theory explains in detail the way in which the rate of propagation depends on specimen radius and conductivity, and on field strength; its only failure is at the higher temperatures, where the magnitude of the rate of propagation tends to be slightly less than the theory predicts. Other factors besides eddy currents which might be retarding the transition are latent heat, the interphase surface energy, and a finite relaxation time governing the destruction of superconductivity by a magnetic field; but none of these proves altogether adequate to account for the discrepancy mentioned. The experiments provide evidence that the relaxation time is less than 2 x 10 -7 s in tin.

The calculation model of the single turn rectangle current carrying coil was established. The theoretic formula for calculating the magnetic field intensity of any point in space was derived. For a pair of radial magnetizing permanent magnets, the formula for calculating the magnetic force of permanent magnet in the magnetic field was deduced based on the equivalent current theory of permanent magnet. According to the formula, the influencing factors and the changing rules for the magnetic force of permanent magnet can be seen directly: the current, the coil turns are proportional to its magnetic force, while the coupling distance is inversely proportional to its magnetic force.

Eddy current non-destructive testing is used to determine position and size of cracks or other defects in conducting materials. The presence of a crack normal to the excited eddy currents distorts the magnetic field; so for the identification of defects a very accurate and fast 3D-computation of the magnetic field is necessary. A computation scheme for 3D quasistatic electromagnetic fields by means of the Boundary Element Method is presented. Although the use of constant field approximations on boundary elements is the easiest way, it often provides an insufficient accuracy. This can be overcome by higher order approximation schemes. The numerical results are compared against some analytically solvable arrangements.
