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 free permanent magnets. The alloy stands as a good candidate to be produced with novel methods and investigated with the latest analysis techniques and it is now well established that magnetic behavior is strongly dependent on the size of the nanoparticles. In this work, magnetic properties of micron-size ball-milled powders and radio frequency (RF) plasma synthesized core-shell nanopowders are compared. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) analysis of the plasma synthesized nanoparticles showed a core/shell structure in which AlNiCo powders were encapsulated with magnetic Fe3O4. The magnetic measurements indicated that coercivity increased significantly with decreasing particle size, particularly for the nanopowders encapsulated with hematite (Fe3O4) layer. It is likely that this oxide coating contributes to the increase in coercivity due to effective exchange coupling between the core and the shell structure while serving as a protective layer against room temperature oxidation. The magnetic behavior of AlNiCo powders with respect to size and core-shell structure formation will be discused in details in conjunction with TEM, S/TEM, VSM and XRD results.

Permanent magnet design and image reconstruction algorithm for magnetic resonance imaging in inhomogeneous magnetic fields
Yiğitler, Hüseyin; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
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 n...
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.
Wearable supercapacitors based on nickel tungstate decorated commercial cotton fabrics
Hekmat, Farzaneh; Tutel, Yusuf; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (2020-07-01)
Symmetric supercapacitors (SSCs) with remarkable energy storing capability, high specific power as well as long-term cyclic stability were fabricated from nickel tungstate (NiWO4) @ nickel oxide (NiOx) decorated commercial cotton fabrics (CCFs). A commercial cotton-based textile was first made conductive by the state of the art ultrasonic spray coating method. This was followed by chemical and electrochemical processes to decorate activated CCFs with NiO(x)and NiWO4, respectively. The assembled SSCs had the...
Flexible supercapacitor electrodes with vertically aligned carbon nanotubes grown on aluminum foils
Dogru, Itir Bakis; Durukan, Mete Batuhan; Turel, Onur; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (2016-06-01)
In this work, vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) grown on aluminum foils were used as flexible supercapacitor electrodes. Aluminum foils were used as readily available, cheap and conductive substrates, and VACNTs were grown directly on these foils through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Solution based ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) method was used for the deposition of the CNT catalyst. Direct growth of VACNTs on aluminum foils ruled out both the internal resistance of the supercapacitor...
Magnetic monitoring approach to nanocrystallization kinetics in Fe-based bulk amorphous alloy
Duman, Nagehan; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat; Mehrabov, Amdulla (2013-12-01)
Much of the recent metallic glass research is devoted to controlling the crystallization of amorphous precursors with the purpose of obtaining amorphous matrix nanocrystalline alloys which combine unmatched soft magnetic properties with good mechanical properties. Therefore, it is crucial to have better understanding of crystallization mechanisms and thermal dependence of nanocrystals that are formed by annealing. This study deals with the nanociystallization kinetics of Cu-modified Fe-Co-Ni-B-Si-Nb bulk am...
