  2. Magnetostriction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetostriction

    Both of these alloys have <100> easy axes for magnetostriction and demonstrate sufficient ductility for sensor and actuator applications. [6] Schematic of a whisker flow sensor developed using thin-sheet magnetostrictive alloys. Another very common magnetostrictive composite is the amorphous alloy Fe 81 Si 3.5 B 13.5 C 2 with its trade name ...

  3. MEMS magnetic actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEMS_Magnetic_Actuator

    The amount of motion generated by the material is proportional to the magnetic field provided by the coil system, which is a function of the electric current. This type of motive device, which features a single moving part, is called an elastic-wave or peristaltic linear motor. (view: Video of a Magnetostrictive micro walker)

    MFM images of 3.2 Gb and 30 Gb computer hard-drive surfaces. Comparison of Faraday-effect image (left) and MFM image (inset, lower-right) of a magnetic film. Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) is a variety of atomic force microscopy, in which a sharp magnetized tip scans a magnetic sample; the tip-sample magnetic interactions are detected and used to reconstruct the magnetic structure of the ...

  5. Level sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

    A variation of magnetic sensing is the "Hall effect" sensor which utilizes the magnetic sensing of a mechanical gauge's indications. In a typical application, a magnetism-sensitive "Hall effect sensor" is affixed to a mechanical tank gauge that has a magnetized indicator needle, so as to detect the indicating position of the gauge's needle.

    where is the magnetostrictive expansion at saturation, and is the angle between the saturation magnetization and the stress's direction. When λ s {\displaystyle \lambda _{s}} and σ {\displaystyle \sigma } are both positive (like in iron under tension), the energy is minimum for θ {\displaystyle \theta } = 0, i.e. when tension is aligned with ...

  8. Kelvin probe force microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_probe_force_microscope

    Absolute values of the sample work function can be obtained if the tip is first calibrated against a reference sample of known work function. [20] Apart from this, one can use the normal topographic scan methods at the resonance frequency ω independently of the above. Thus, in one scan, the topography and the contact potential of the sample ...

  9. Scanning SQUID microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_SQUID_microscopy

    The SQUID sensor is sensitive enough that it can detect a wire even if it is carrying only 10 nA of current at a distance of 100 μm from the SQUID sensor with 1 second averaging. The microscope uses a patented design to allow the sample under investigation to be at room temperature and in air while the SQUID sensor is under vacuum and cooled ...
