This paper presents a low-cost three-axis teslameter capable of measuring magnetic field intensity in industrial environments and high voltage facilities. It is based on an MFS-3A three-axis magnetic field sensor, and it can measure magnetic flux density up to ±5 mT in all three axes, with accuracy better than ±0.5% and excellent temperature stability. The proposed teslameter was calibrated using a state-of-the-art reference instrument, Helmholtz coil and temperature chamber. The paper describes the development and the calibration of the proposed teslameter. The obtained results are presented as well.

In this paper, we report the nonlinear magnetoelectric response in a homogenous magnetostrictive/piezoelectric laminate material. The proposed magnetoelectric stack Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9/piezofiber is made up of high-permeability magnetostrictive Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9 foils and a piezoelectric Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 fiber composite. The time dependence of magnetoelectric interactions in the Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9/piezofiber structure driven by pulsed magnetic field was investigated in detail. The experimental results show that the magnetoelectric effect is strongly dependent on the external bias magnetic and pulsed magnetic field parameters. To detect the amplitude of a pulsed magnetic field, the output sensitivity reaches 17 mV/Oe, which is excited by a 100 μs width field. In addition, to measure the pulsed width, the output sensitivity reaches 5.4 mV/μs in the range of 0–300 μs. The results show that the proposed Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9/piezofiber sensor is ideally suited for pulsed magnetic field measurement.

This paper describes an innovative solution for the power supply of a fast field cycling (FFC) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer considering its low power consumption, portability and low cost. In FFC cores, the magnetic flux density must be controlled in order to perform magnetic flux density cycles with short transients, while maintaining the magnetic flux density levels with high accuracy and homogeneity. Typical solutions in the FFC NMR literature use current control to get the required magnetic flux density cycles, which correspond to an indirect magnetic flux density control. The main feature of this new relaxometer is the direct control of the magnetic flux density instead of the magnet current, in contrast with other equipment available in the market. This feature is a great progress because it improves the performance. With this solution it is possible to compensate magnetic field disturbances and parasitic magnetic fields guaranteeing, among other possibilities, a field control below the earth magnetic field. Experimental results validating the developed solution and illustrating the real operation of this type of equipment are shown.

A low-cost cell has been designed and built for synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction studies of materials with low melting points. The cell has been operated between 253 and 323 K with a temperature stability of better than 0.1 K. The construction of the cell allows free rotation of the sample during a scan in order to maximize the number of powder grains in the reflecting position. The cell has been used to study a transition from an ordered to a rotator phase in hexadecane occurring at 278 K and the results from that study are reported.

In a measurement of magnetic flux density with high accuracy by using Hall effect sensor must be considered position of Hall sensor, that perfect perpendicular with magnetic flux line for measurement. Only one Hall element can cause measuring error. Therefore, this paper presents an application of independent directional magnetic field measurement technique on two dimensions for high accuracy magnetometer. It is presented by using two Hall sensors locate perpendicular to each other and use the relation of the two voltage output signal from both Hall sensors to calculate constant Hall voltage and Magnetic flux density with high accuracy by using trigonometric function with Lab-View programming. And as the result of experiment, this technique can reduce the limitation in term of this angle in the range magnetic flux density can be measured 0-1800 gauss. A calibration curve of this system compare with standard Gauss meter shows the coefficient of determination (R2) equal to 1 and has the accuracy percentage as less than 0.5%.

This paper presents a mathematical modeling of a modified voice coil generator, which consists of a moving coil within a fixed magnetic circuit. The simulation has been done with Comsol Multiphysics software, which is a powerful tool to demonstrate the pattern of magnetic field and calculate the induced current in the coil. In our simulations, the magnetic circuit consists of the magnetic conductor and the air gap. In this analysis, the magnetic flux density and the magnetic field intensity are calculated. Moreover, through calculation of the total reluctance of the magnetic circuit and employing the ohm’s law for magnetic circuits, the effect of the length and cross section of the total circuit on the magnetic flux are investigated. Finally, a pattern for the magnetic flux density are demonstrated and the simulation result indicates that the magnetic field is well concentrated on the coil area, therefore this prototype can capture and convert most of the kinetic energy to electricity. A prototype has been fabricated and tested on the shaker. The experimental results indicate that this setup is able to produce the maximum voltage of 0.326 V and the peak power equal to 2.605 mW in 35 Hz frequency and 1 mm peak to peak amplitude.

The independent directional magnetic field measurement is a new technique for magnetic flux density measurement with high accuracy. This technique can reduce the limitation in term of angle that magnetic flux lines interact with Hall sensors. However, the original system limits the uniformity and symmetry of magnetic field patterns, which can cause an error for measurement system. Therefore, the aim of this research is to present the method to increase measurement accuracy of system, by improve magnetic field uniformity which can be done by using electromagnet instead of permanent magnet. The system is also improved the mechanical circle motion by using stepping motor, it is used to rotate Hall sensors in magnetic field which is generated by electromagnet. The result from experiment has shown of this method that can reduce the error percentage as 5% compare with original system. This method is shown 0.99997 of coefficient of determination, which represents to accuracy in magnetic flux density measurement range 0-1350 Gauss.

A low-cost teslameter based on a Hall effect sensor MLX90242 is proposed in this paper. The proposed teslameter is built around a PIC18F4550 microcontroller and it can measure magnetic flux density in the range between -55 mT and 55 mT. Temperature stability of measurements originates from the MLX90242 sensor itself. In order for the proposed transducer to be accurate, it has undergone a calibration procedure using a highly accurate teslameter employed as reference instruments and high-quality variable-field electromagnet. The proposed teslameter can store measurements on a PC via built-in USB communication.

A magnetic fluid (MF)-based magnetic field sensor with a filling-splicing fiber structure is proposed. The sensor realizes Mach–Zehnder interference by an optical fiber cascade structure consisting of single mode fiber (SMF), multimode fiber (MMF), and single-hole-dual-core fiber (SHDCF). The core in the cladding and the core in the air hole of SHDCF are used as the reference and sensing light path, respectively, and the air hole of SHDCF is filled with magnetic fluid to realize magnetic field measurement based on magnetic controlled refractive index (RI) characteristics. The theoretical feasibility of the proposed sensing structure is verified by Rsoft simulation, the optimized length of SHDCF is determined by optical fiber light transmission experiment, and the SHDCFs are well fused without collapse through the special parameter setting. The results show that the sensitivity of the sensor is −116.1 pm/Gs under a magnetic field of 0~200 Gs with a good long-term operation stability. The proposed sensor has the advantages of high stability, fast response, simple structure, and low cost, which has development potential in the field of miniaturized magnetic field sensing.
