Recently, the use of permanent magnets as magnetic field sources in biomedical applications has become widespread. However, usage of permanent magnets in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is limited due to their inhomogeneous magnetic field distributions. In this thesis, shape and geometry optimization of a magnet is performed. Moreover, placement of more than one magnet is optimized to obtain desired magnetic field distribution in specific region of space. However, obtained magnetic field distribution can not be used in the conventional MRI image reconstruction techniques. Consequently, an image reconstruction technique for MRI in inhomogeneous magnetic fields is developed. Apart from these, since any reconstruction technique requires signal data, an MRI simulator in inhomogeneous magnetic fields is constructed as a part of this thesis. Obtained results show that the theory developed in this thesis is valid. Consequently, new MRI devices that have permanent magnets as magnetic field sources can be constructed in the future.

Plasma Synthesis of AlNiCo Core/Shell Nanopowders
Genç, Ayşe Merve; Öztürk, Tayfur; Kalay, Yunus Eren (2018-11-26)
Aluminum-nickel-cobalt (AlNiCo) permanent magnets revolutionized the permanent magnet industry in 1920’s but has not been thoroughly studied after the development of powerful rare-earth permanent magnets. As compared to rare-earth magnets, AlNiCo magnets have high remanent force (Br), better corrosion resistance and higher Curie temperature but lack high coercivity. If the coercivity is improved, BHmax value may increase up to values that would potentially fill the gap in between rare-earth and rare-earth f...
Dielectric Characterization of Imatinib Resistant K562 Leukemia Cells through Electrorotation with 3-D Electrodes
Bahrieh, G.; Koydemir, H. Ceylan; Erdem, Murat; Ozgur, E.; Gündüz, Ufuk; Külah, Haluk (2013-11-06)
This study reports the use of electrorotation (ER) technique within a micro-fabricated device with 3D electrodes for dielectric characterization of Imatinib-resistant K562 (K562/IMA-0.2) human leukemic cells. The ER devices with 3D quadruple electrodes (30 mu m in height) were used in order to eliminate the fringing field effect on the rotation of cells. To induce the rotational moment on the cells, signals in phase quadrature were applied to the triangular electrodes. The rotation of cells measured at the ...
Eddy current Losses in Permanent Magnets of High Speed Synchronous Generators
Martin, F.; Bernard, N.; Zaim, M. E.; Tounzi, A.; Fratila, R. (2011-09-10)
In this paper, we investigate the eddy current losses in permanent magnets in a surface mounted magnet synchronous machines. A 2D analytical method is presented to calculate the losses due to the time and space harmonics. The validation of the analytical model is led through a 3D finite element method. The proposed method is then applied in case of a generator charging a battery through a full-wave bridge rectifier.
RF Coil Design for MRI Applications in Inhomogeneous Main Magnetic Fields
Yılmaz, Ayşen; Eyueboglu, B. M. (2006-09-01)
Conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques require homogeneous main magnetic fields. However, MRI applications that are executed in inhomogenous main magnetic fields have been developed in recent years. In this study, RF coil geometries are designed for MRI applications in inhomogeneous magnetic fields. Method of moments is used to obtain the current density distribution on a predefined surface that can produce a desired magnetic field, which is perpendicular to the given inhomogenous main mag...
A fully-differential bulk-micromachined mems accelerometer with interdigitated fingers
Aydın, Osman; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
Accelerometer sensors fabricated with micromachining technologies started to take place of yesterday’s bulky sensors in many application areas. The application areas include a wide range from consumer electronics and health systems to military and aerospace applications. Therefore, the performance requirements extend form 1 μg’s to 100 thousand g’s. However, high performance strategic grade MEMS accelerometer sensors still do not exist in the literature. Smart designs utilizing the MEMS technology is necess...
